| Area Description | |
| La Bastide des Lavandiéres is located centrally in the village of Canaules. Canaules is approx a 15 minute drive from Anduze (known as the Gateway to the Cevennes). There are other smaller towns nearby also (within 20 minutes) as well as the city of Ales just 20 minutes away which has everything you would expect to find in any large city.
The closest airport is Nimes (approx 35 minutes drive) other nearby airports include Montpellier (approx. 1 hour), Avignon (70 minutes), Beziers (90 minutes), Marseilles (2 hours) and Carcassonne (2 hours). Shopping: there is one small shop/bakery in Canaules where you can get your fresh baguettes, croissants etc each morning. To find it just walk down the village past the town hall and the post office and take the only left turn that you see. To walk from La Bastide to the shop/bakery takes about 3 minutes. You will also find a well stocked supermarket in nearby Lezan (5 mins away approx by car) as well as 2 large supermarkets (Lidl and Intermarche) a little further on in Saint Christol. Food and drink: While there are no restaurants or bars actually in the village of Canaules you are literally surrounded by other small villages and towns which have an abundance of places for eating and drinking. There's one small bar/restaurant in Saint-Jean-De-Serres which is just 2 kilometres away. Christian and Brigitte will make you very welcome when you tell them you are staying at the bastide. You can also get really good take-away pizza here. A little further on in Ledignan (5km's) there are a couple of places to eat and drink as well as another pizza take-away. For a selection of bars and restaurant's there is of course nearby Lezan which is just 4 kilometres away. Sauve (11km's away) has some very good restaurants hidden among it's narrow streets as has it's next door neighbour - Quissac (10.4km's from Canaules) where you will also find a nice fast food/take-away. So all in all - No shortage of choice as far as eating and drinking goes. For a real French experience you can take a short trip into the Cevennes mountains to the village of Monoblet where chef Eric in our favourite restaurant will look after you. Guests at La Bastide des Lavandiéres are welcome to visit our vineyard in the nearby village of Saint-Jean-de-Serres where we provide vineyard tours and the opportunity to taste our wines. Depending on the time of year there may also be the opportunity to try your hand at a little work on the vines. We can also organise tours to other vineyards in the region and during the low season in particular we can put together a 4 or 5 day schedule for groups to come and stay in the apartments and experience at first hand the local wine and food industry. Visit local vineyards, speak with some of the most exciting wine makers in the world and sample their wines. | |

| Description |
| La Bastide des Lavandieres is located in the village of Canaules deep in the Languedoc wine producing region of the south of France . Originally constructed during the 19th century (1850) it has previously been used as a small hotel as well as a café & a night club . Following extensive renovations & rebuilding during 2007 & the early months of 2008 this wonderfully preserved stone building has now been converted into seven luxury apartments with private off-road parking & extra large swimming pool
Canaules is a typical French village - small but full of character . It is close to a number of larger villages & small towns as well as numerous vineyards - many of which welcome visitors . Guests are very welcome to come & check out our own vineyard at Domaine d'Espere in Saint-Jean-de-Serres which is just over 2 kilometres away . Nearby you will find a selection of excellent restaurants & typically French small bars . Ales which is just a 15 minute drive away has all of the shopping & entertainment options you would find in any large city of it's size . Nimes , Montpellier & Marseilles are just 3 of the cities which are easily reached as well as the beaches on the coast or the skiing in the Cevennes. Please click on the Languedoc information link on our website for detailed information about the many attractions & places worth visiting in the Languedoc region. There is a very large private terrace with this apartment with table and chairs for outdoor dining. On the terrace also you will find an old but functional brick build barbecue. The terrace itself leads on to a fully enclosed paved area at the front of the building containing the children's play area and more tables and seating for outdoor dining or a casual glass of wine. The terrace is bathed in sunlight in the late afternoons and evenings and it has a clear view of the swimming pool so that children can be supervised while swimming. Just beside the apartment you will find the private car park where you can park your car safely. The swimming pool is 12m x 6m in size. It slopes gently so that there is a shallow flat area suitable for young children. It is fully enclosed with secure fencing and a security gate for your safety and the safety of children in particular. There is a pool house beside the swimming pool containing changing facilities toilet and an outdoor shower. Although the apartment has not been specifically adapted for wheelchair users it is still quite suitable. There is a mobile wheelchair ramp available to allow entrance and exit from the apartment and because the interior of the apartment is very large it ensures ease of movement for wheelchair users. The apartment is electrically heated. There is no requirement for air-conditioning as there are 3 foot solid stone walls in the apartment. This ensures that during Summer the apartment never gets too warm. |
