The spacious, comfortable holiday home La Grande Ganière is located on the flanks of the most beautiful natural park in France, the Cevennes. The house is situated in an enclosed garden with a swimming pool on the edge of a small village.

The house can accommodate up to 10 people. The house has its own large driveway for three of our guests' cars. You reach the living room via an external staircase that leads to a spacious terrace on the first floor. At the front of the house there is also a large ground floor terrace with patio furniture, and also a long dining table under a pergola covered with vines and wisteria. This terrace opens into the garden with swimming pool.

The holiday home consists of a living room, 4 bedrooms, 1 children's room (connected to one of the double rooms), 2 bathrooms with shower, toilet and sink and a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, oven and microwave.

The holiday home is located on the outskirts of the village of Gagnières and owes its name to the river La Ganière that flows near our house. The house is detached and is situated in an enclosed garden of 1250 m2 with a spacious swimming pool and unobstructed views of the Cevennes. The bakery, a small shop and some restaurants can be reached on foot or by bike. A large supermarket can be reached within 10 minutes by car.
What does the region have to offer? The holiday home is an excellent base for exploring both the Cevennes and the South Ardeche. In the Cevennes you can combine nature, culture and sports activities well. You can take beautiful walks or bike rides and swim in the clear bathing water of the many rivers along the way. Those who want more of a challenge can go rafting, canoeing or kayaking from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc. In addition, there are dozens of castles and museums in our area, not to mention beautiful old villages such as Barjac, St. Ambroix and Les Vans where there is a flea market every week. The Gard also has many activities to offer for children.
In terms of location, Gagnières is perfect for visiting Provencal towns such as Avignon, Nîmes, Orange and Uzès. The Mediterranean can be reached in an hour and a half.

    Gary & Sarah, we hebben het fantastisch gehad in jullie mooie, grote en compleet uitgeruste huis, La Grande. Aan alles is gedacht! Fles rosé, koude biertjes en borrelhapjes bij aankomst en alles werkt goed. Fijne airco en goede uitleg waar alles te vinden is. We hebben genoten van het grote zwembad, ruime tuin en de mooie rustige omgeving. Fijn dat we jullie makkelijk konden bereiken via whatsapp (in het Engels 🥳) als er een vraag was. Mijn zoon en ik hebben genoten en komen in de toekomst graag terug. Echt een aanrader!
    Een fijne zomer nog. Groet, Sam & Peter Friesen

    We hebben een fantastische week in “La Grande” gehad. Te beginnen met een heel fijne ontvangst door Sarah & Gary en de allerbeste zorgen, - op een heel discrete manier -tijdens ons verblijf. Het huis is zeer confortabel en gezellig ingericht. De tuin is prachtig met mooi tuinmeubilair, heerlijk zwembad en veel spelmateriaal (zwembadaccesoires, badminton , tennis, petanque).
    Een echte aanrader !!!!

Restaurants, food & wine

The food in the Gard is very delicious and blessed with the powerful aroma of the Mediterranean areas with olive oil, garlic and southern herbs such as thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and saffron.
The coastal areas offer a wide variety of fish and seafood, inland we are endowed with "légumes de soleil" such as peppers, aubergines and courgettes and also strawberries, cherries, peaches and melons in different seasons.
There is a growing number of bistros and restaurants that will appeal to all tastes and budgets! Look forward to "formulas" for a good, well-prepared weekday midday meal.

Activities

The holiday home is an ideal base for exploring the Gard, the Cevennes and the South Ardèche. There are too many activities to list them all! We have a great selection of current information brochures and we can also give you ideas for day trips. Here are a few...

You can swim in the rivers in the area such as the Cèze, La Ganière, Chassezac (early or late season) and the Gorges de l'Ardeche (all seasons). You will also find beautiful gorges and beaches. The Lac de Villefort, a large mountain lake, is also recommended. In addition to good bathing water and various beaches, there is also a good walking path around the entire lake.
For those who want to spend the day more actively, there are several options in the immediate vicinity. You can take breathtaking canoe trips of different lengths. In addition, there are endless opportunities for hiking, cycling / mountain biking in the endless rolling hills in the area.
You can also view the area on horseback. Guided horseback rides are organized by the horse farm "le Malibaud". If you are interested in flora and fauna, the boat trip with the "Confrerie de bateliers de l'Ardeche" is a must. They organize day trips through the "Réserve Naturelle", one of the most beautiful protected natural areas in France.
Would you rather play a game of golf? Then you can play on the 18-hole golf course in Nîmes.
There is also a wide variety of activities for children. You will find excitement and thrills at the Grand Bois. Curious how crocodiles live? Visit the crocodile zoo. For children and adults, you can also visit the Haribo Museum near Uzès.
It is fun for the whole family to take a trip through the Cevennes with the Anduze steam train. This tour can easily be combined with a visit to the bamboo forest "La Bambouseraie".
... Or you can just relax by the pool and enjoy the blue skies and the sun of the Gard!
