4 bedroom Holiday Home with Pool in Pompignan, Gard, France Reviews

The house is lovely, with everything you need, and the place is very cool, a little slice of La France Profonde.

Get to know the lovely couple who serve you bread at the Boulanger - their son is the baker and he is really, really good - his cakes are to die for.

On your way back from the Boulanger, call in at the Bar des Colonnes for your morning coffee - run by a rather bohemian lady, it's a delight. Go for Pizza at the weekend and meet the tame magpie - don't know who he rooms with, but he turns up every weekend and steals like only a magpie can.

The surrounding country is unique and every valley beyond is a new experience and a new climate. Don't forget to swim in the Herault river and definitely do not miss riding on the Train à vapeur des Cevennes which chugs back and forth from Anduze to St Jean de Gard.
