Outside and accessibility
The garden and pool (5.5m, above-ground) are shared between both houses, though each has its own outside dining area with table and chairs. A BBQ is available for use by both houses. Visitors may also play petanque on the floodlit 'court'.
As the property is above street level up a flight of steps it may not be suitable for those with mobility problems.
Further details
The larger supermarkets are all found in Bedarieux or Lamalou-les-Bains. Both towns have excellent markets and restaurants, various shops, tourist information offices, banks, post offices, swimming pools and small play parks for the children. There is also a small hospital with A&E facilities in Bedarieux.
Distances and travel
A car is essential as there is very little public transport and none to the village. Car hire is best booked online as this proves much cheaper than booking on arrival.
