Set on a small quiet square, this elegant town house is built of the pale yellow stone typical of Uzes. To enter the apartment, you open the huge old wooden door and enter the tower from the passageway. A flight of well-worn stone steps brings you up to the first floor.

Enter into a wonderful high-ceilinged living room, with its two west-facing windows that overlook Place Austerlitz, and down a paved lane to Place Aux Herbes, the main market square of Uzes. The living room is very comfortable with a dining table and chairs, window seats, and two sofas, one of which is a sofabed.

The kitchen, sleek with stone counters, is to the rear of the living area through a stone arch. The kitchen is very well equipped with all new appliances in 2004.

A flight of stairs takes you up to the bedroom, again with two large windows overlooking Place Austerlitz. The bed can be arranged either as twin beds, or as a super king double bed. The en-suite bathroom, has a large powerful shower, basin, and toilet.

Continue up the winding stone staircase of the tower, and you come out onto your private terrace with its magnificent 360 degree panoramic view of Uzes and the surrounding countryside. It is a perfect place for a morning coffee and croissant, a light lunch, and a glass of chilled rose wine, early evening drinks as the sun goes down, or late night star gazing after a pleasant dinner out.

Parking can sometimes be found by the house, but more usually is about 100 yards away in a public parking space. Covered garaged parking can also be arranged.

The apartment Listing no 80692 and the duplex can be rented together. This would suit a larger family, or two couples traveling together. The apartments can be accessed separately, or can be linked together via a door in the bathroom of the duplex. By renting the top floor apartment, the duplex also benefits from the extra teak decked terrace which is on the same level as the bedroom, so providing another outdoor space for relaxing or dining.
