The pool is two yards, a half meters deep at its deepest. It can be lit by two spotlights. Close to the pool, a fountain whose soothing sound you will enjoy while having your meals in a garden lounge sheltered in the shade of tall trees.

Situation of the house: Deep in the countryside on a farming estate comprising 35 acres of orchards, there you can go for a walk, jog or play games.
A traditional Mediterranean landscape meets your eyes: the plain with its fruit-trees and famous vineyards (Costieres de Nimes, Cotes du Rhone) surrounded by the garrigue and its fragrant herbs such as thyme, rosemary, savory and juniper).
Four kilometers from Meynes, Redessan, Bezouces, ten kilometers from Nimes, a 30-minute drive from Avignon, Arles, Uzes, or the Pont du Gard, a 45-minute drive from Montpellier, the Camargue and the Mer Mediterranean sea High-speed Train-Stations (TGV) in Nimes 20-minutes and Avignon 35-minute.

Discovering the area near the self-catering accommodation:
Your first tour will be to Nimes where you can visit the wonderful amphitheatre (end of 1st century BC) and Square House (1st century BC).
"The Arena in Nimes" is as beautiful as the most famous classical monuments in Italy. I did not know that the South of France possessed such magnificent relics. The Maison Carree is a splendid replica of the Temple of Theseus in Athens and Rome has nothing better preserved.
Your second tour will be to Avignon to see its Palais des Papes in which seven Popes followed one another in 14th century. To get there you will go through Tarascon and discover its Chateau du Roi Rene and farther away the abbey of Frigolet praised by Alphonse Daudet in " les lettres de Mon Moulin" and "Elixir du Pere Gaucher".
This Mill of Daudet which you can see again at Fonvieille near the Baux en Provence a magnificent place on a calcareous rock. The third tour will be to Arles : the charming city of Arles, on the Grand Rhone River in Provence, rose to prominence in 49-46 BC when a triumphal Julius Caesar captured and despoiled nearby Marseille.
It soon became the region's commercial hub and an important Roman provincial centre, with enormous public spaces that are still in use today. Vincent Van Gogh settled here in the late 19th century, fashioning hundreds of drawings and paintings when he took a break from pestering his ear.
On hot summer days you can watch the waves of heat rising from the plains, just as Van Gogh did a century ago; olive groves and vineyards - often featured in his work - still cover the surrounding limestone hills.
Arles is also noted for its houses with striking red barrel-tiled roofs and shady, twisting alleys too narrow to swing a cat in (trust us). Arles' attractions include the Les Arenas, an enormous Roman amphitheatre built towards the end of the 1st century AD.
Tens of thousands of men and animals were sacrificed here to that most noble of pursuits - sport. Chariot races and hand-to-hand battles were staged with slaughter emphasized over tactics, but the public seemed happy.
The Arenas was later transformed into a fortress, then a residential area, but its sanguinary origins have been reawakened in the full houses drawn to bullfights.
Another of the city's Roman relics is the Theater Antique, which provides an ideal setting for open-air dance, film and music festivals in the summer. After to admire its cathedral Saint Trophime, its cloister and its tympanum which is a jewel of roman architecture.
Central Arles is a relaxed place of intimate squares, terraced brasseries perfect for sipping pastis, wine and men with long pomaded moustaches playing petanque.
The fourth will take you to the Mediterranean Sea either to the Saintes Marie de la mer if you go across the etang du Vaccares in the reserve of the Grande Camargue, or else to the Grau du Roi if you go through Aigues Mortes from which King Saint Louis embarked for the Crusades.
The fifth will be to Uzes to visit its Duche and above all its picturesque market on Saturday mornings. You must stop and have a look at the Pont du Gard to admire this magnificent Roman work.
Another day, you'll go to Orange whose Roman theatre is one of the most beautiful in the world,or maybe to St. Remy de Provence.....
