Château de Vénéjan - Self-catering in Gard
Chemin du Château, 30200 Vénéjan, Gard
Languedoc - Roussillon,
Francia
This historic château is formidable, its walls impregnable and the views are wide. It has been in Odile's family since the 1950s so she knows the region inside-out too: set off on walks from the doorstep and explore Vaucluse, Drôme, Ardèche and Gard. Drive to the famous underground caves of Aven d'Orgnac and Grotte de la Cocalière in 30 minutes.
Sprawl out in the huge living room, bathed in sunlight with exposed stone walls, comfy sofas and Odile's sculptures. Pick up organic produce from the market on Saturdays and gather everyone to cook in the well-equipped, country-style kitchen.
For wild swimming and canoeing head to the Gorge d'Ardèche (30-minute drive), Barjac (35 minutes) for antiques and markets, and Nîmes (one hour) for fascinating Roman remains. Return to a picnic in the pretty walled Italian garden, shade yourself under the mulberry trees, walk among the flowerbeds.

Local points of interest from Odile de Frayssinet:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Odile de Frayssinet:
- The 14th century restored family château de Vénéjan, a medieval village in the Gard, has sweeping views to the hills of the Ardêche, Cevennes and Uzès valley.
- The Chateau is located in the village of Vénéjan in the Gard, Languedoc Roussillon - the very heart of Provence – with all the magic that the name evokes. Blessed with three major rivers nearby, the area is verdant and mainly given over to vineyards .
- My distinctive choice of décor is a huge asset that gives a personal yet creative touch to each room, and includes oriental carpets, original works of art and a grand piano.
- The immense terrace dominating the valley is unique. Stand and gaze into infinity. At night under the stars it is pure magic.
- There are myriads of wine domains with excellent wine to be tasted, and local markets, including the beautiful Duchy town of Uzès, sell a quantity of cheeses, patés, vegetables and fruit.
- Canoeing through the gorges of the Ardêche and Cèze rivers is a major summer activity as are visits to the spectacular grottos and caves - all within half an hour’s drive. For golf enthusiasts there are courses in Avignon - 45 mins or Uzès in 30 mins.
