Photos and Description of this Ganges holiday house
5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 12

Large old house, with courtyard and roof terrace for sunbathing or eating out. The village has a bar, two restaurants, and a nearby shop/bakery, and is located at the foothills of the Cevennes, 2km from the junction of the rivers Herault and Vis. Swimming in both these rivers is a delight, and is the reason we bought the house 15 years ago; the river Vis is one of the cleanest in France, because most of its length is underground. 8 minute's walk from the house is a beautiful waterfall; the pools below it are large, and deep enough to dive in, and a few metres downstream are gently sloping shingle beaches safe for small children. The nearest town (supermarkets etc) is 4km, and Montpellier 50km.

Details for unit AB 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 12, 2 Bathrooms

This house is suitable for a large party, or two families, and because there are two kitchens and two sitting rooms it is ideal if lots of teenagers are coming to stay. There are five bedrooms on two floors: three doubles, and two singles with 3 beds each. There are futons and camp-beds for extra guests. There are two spaces (a garden courtyard and a roof terrace with a pergola) where you can eat out and sunbathe, and a kitchen and bathroom on both floors. Two washing machines are provided, and there is a ping-pong table in the basement. If you want a smaller apartment suitable for up to five people, see the details given under 'Unit B'; the house divides into two private apartments, each with their own interior front door

The village is at the border of the coastal plain and the foothills of the Cevennes, in the Languedoc, almost equidistant between the airports of Nimes and Montpellier. It is 10 minutes by road to the nearest town, Ganges, where there are supermarkets, and a great market on Friday mornings. A small river runs through the village, and joins the river Vis, which is perfect for bathing. Beaches at Sete and Agde and Palavas (Montpellier) are about an hour and a half's drive away, but much better swimming for all ages is to be had 8 minute's walk from the house, in the waterfalls and pools of the Vis. The Herault is also good for swimming and canoeing.
