What hikes are accessible on foot directly from the Mas?
The estate is the starting point for several trails winding through the garrigue. The most famous and well-known is the Régordane Way (GR700), which passes directly in front of our property. Between the Massif Central and the Mediterranean, this long-distance hiking trail connects Le Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Gilles-du-Gard. The section near the estate offers the opportunity to discover the Moulin de Dions, a 30-minute walk away.
Are there any cycling routes nearby?
Yes, a beautiful, safe greenway connects Uzès to the Pont du Gard. This approximately 13 km route is flat and accessible to all levels. It winds through landscapes of garrigue and vineyards before arriving at the majestic Pont du Gard. It’s an unforgettable experience for discovering the region at a leisurely pace. Bicycles can be rented directly in Uzès from our partners.
Do you propose a route for a local "Wine Route"?
Absolutely. We have selected our favorite estates in the Duché d’Uzès and Costières de Nîmes appellations for you. We can help you plan the perfect itinerary, including tastings at our partner wineries. A few minutes away, you will find the “Tour de Gatigne” wineyard that we particularly appreciate.
Where is it possible to swim or paddle in the Gorges du Gardon nearby?
In addition to our swimming pool, you can enjoy the clear waters of the Gardon River. There are convenient access points just a 3-minute drive from the estate in Russan, below the bridge. When the water level is too low in the height of summer, the section in Collias, a 15-minute drive away, still offers a natural swimming spot at the foot of the cliffs. You can also rent canoes and kayaks there to paddle down the river to the Pont du Gard!
What are the typical local dishes and culinary specialties that are absolutely worth trying?

In Uzès: the prestigious black truffle that enhances all your favorite dishes, the fougasse d’Uzès (a savory cousin of the orange blossom fougasse from Aigues-Mortes), Pélardon goat cheese from the Cévennes mountains, and the fruity olive oils from the mills of Uzès and Paradis.
