Hostel - Bed and Breakfast  

Culture Connection

Near the edge of a Provence in Southern France, there is a village that sits on a hill, surrounded by vineyards and fruit trees. The small stone village of Vers-Pont-Pont-du-Gard (pop. 2000) has quarries that were the source of the stone for the Roman bridge-- the Pont Du Gard (the ninth wonder of the world) which is a 40 minute walk away. 

Stay in Maison de Martin for € 33 per night per person, includes continental breakfast, private room, sheets and towels (tourist tax of €.55 per night additional). Kids under ten stay for half price, babies free. A private room for a single person is €50/night. The upper floor has two bedrooms and one bathroom, and the lower floor has two bedrooms, dining room, and bathroom.The lower floor is reached by stone stairs up from the courtyard. 

Ask about a guided hike to Pont du Gard (free!), a French cooking lesson after shopping at the Uzes open market, a tour of the village winery, or a free guided hike in the stone quarries! Bikes are available for €5 to visit the nearby villages of Castillon, Collias, Argilliers, Saint Hilaire, or ride all the way to Uzes (don't miss the castle the the Fenestrelle tower). 

You can visit a local olive orchard, there is great shopping in Uzes, or go swimming and canoeing in the river. Choose any or all you can fit in your schedule! Enjoy the courtyard, you are right around the corner from the yummy cakes in the boulangerie, it is a 5 minute walk for wine tasting at the wine co-op.
