In the enchanted land of Perrault's tales, it is not unusual to come across cats in boots, sleeping princesses, little ducks who think they are very ugly or princesses who can't stand peas... but also charming manor houses and their hosts in such a magical environment, amid exceptional landscapes - a cultural and historical interlude of the most seductive kind. A true cradle of life, the spring here gushes through vales and valleys all the way to the emblematic Pont du Gard, once supplying the Roman city of Nîmes with drinking water. A unique place in a rural setting, shaded by huge plane and poplar trees, in striking contrast with the surrounding natural bushland. To complete the setting, we must tell you about the dream-like stroll that you can indulge in in the shade and coolness of the pool's coping stones or by the old wheat mill... just to the antechamber of the first Duchy of France, the remarkable medieval town of Uzès. Built in this bucolic setting in the 16th century on more than ten hectares, this residence, flanked by two overhanging turrets, now offers approx. 300m² of living space with remarkable features such as a cross vaulted living room, French ceilings, wooden parquetry and period fireplaces. Not forgetting a non-adjoining outbuilding of approx. 200 m², in need of renovation, and a dovecote overlooking a second pool, four hundred years old and ISMH listed. This property emanates the sensation, the feeling, the conviction that the French art of living is still a reality that crosses borders. It has been part of the heritage of the same family for almost one hundred and fifty years and the acquisition of such an architectural work can only be governed by emotion! ref 2388
