Places to Visit
Mas de l'Olivette is in a lovely central location for whatever your interests. Besides the hiking outside your door, or the local town of Bagnols-sur-Ceze just down the road, the home is located near many wonderul destinations. The home is just under 30 kilometers from Avignon, Pont-du-Gard and Uzes to the south, approximately 20 kilometers from Goudargues and the Valley Ceze to the north-west and 30 kilometers from Chateauf-du-Pape to the east.
Extending your trip just a bit futher, you'll find the fabulous gorges of Ardeche and caves of Orgnac are about an hour to the north. Nimes, St. Remy de Provence, Les Baux de Provence and the coastal towns of Arles and Aiges-Morte are approximately an hour to the south. Whether you're looking for village strolls, antique shops, Roman ruins, wine tasting, river canoeing, dramatic hikes or great restaurants and food, you'll find them all easily accessed from Mas de l'Olivette.
