We stayed a week in each gite, so are able to review both and compare. Gites Palmier and Olivier each have their particular advantages, but the overall rating is a straight 5-star for both. They are attached to the main house, on the edge of the village. Olivier is at ground level while Palmier is a floor above, next to the living area of the main house. As Olivier is set forward, there is no one above and it is the quieter of the two. You can hear occasional noise from the house in Palmier. The situation up on a hillside gives great views across the plain to the Cevennes hills in the distance. As the horizon is low, you get the sun all the way through the evening- there is no dipping behind hills at teatime. The views from Olivier are good; from Palmier simply glorious. Both gites are very well equipped. Olivier’s furnishings appear newer. The standard of furnishing is high. The beds are unusually comfortable with excellent mattresses. Aircon and shower were fine. Wi-Fi, TV etc. all good. Both gites were spotless. Olivier downstairs is quieter, further from the main house, newer and a little better equipped. Palmier is lighter (the living room area has windows on three sides, two of which are full sliding patio doors) with better views. I preferred its terrace as well. The pool area is great- jacuzzi, solarium, barbecue- all well thought out and designed. The owners were charming, friendly and helpful, very promptly helping with odd problems such as us not being able to figure out how to operate the touch controls on the (very new) hob. Langlade is a pleasant village with an old centre and newer developments around the edge. You can walk around the wooded hills surrounding it. There is a boulangerie in the centre and two supermarkets about three minutes’ drive away on the edge. There’s a big new Casino supermarket, but the smaller and less impressive-looking Dia is closer, better stocked, friendlier and busier. Langlade is well placed for visiting the surrounding area. The motorway is ten minutes away on the edge of Nimes, provided you avoid peak times. We also found that by driving south out of Langlade and getting onto the D135 enabled us to drive on quieter roads. These are excellent places to stay and fully merit the 5 stars. Highly recommended.
