Le Moulin Neuf France
Holiday Home Rental Description
Hidden among vineyards, next to a flowing brook, and only 10km from the medieval town of Uzès, sits Le Moulin Neuf chateau. A large chateau of 5000m², it is made up of five independent living areas with fully-equipped kitchens, 14 double or triple rooms, nine bathrooms, 12 WCs and sofa beds for up to 10 extra people, if required.
The beautiful garden grounds contain picnic tables, a barbecue and children’s playground, all surrounded by cypresses, mulberry trees and umbrella pines. Within Le Moulin Neuf itself, there is a central courtyard with a circular swimming pool (8m diameter and with central alarm so safe for children) and tiled terrace with lounge chairs. Private parking and bike room are also provided.
Le Moulin Neuf has a rich history. It was built as a water-mill in the 18th century and later turned into silkworm breeding and wine-growing farm (look out for the hundred year old mulberry trees which once fed the silk worms!) Renovated and decorated in 2002, the house is perfect for large groups and families all year round: with a mezzanine living room overlooking the pool and terrace, central heating throughout and a semi-industrial kitchen, which enables cooking for 40+ people.
The closest town to the chateau is Uzès, an attractive lively Provencal town. It has plenty of shops and restaurants with a “Grand marché” on Saturday morning and “growers market” on Wednesday morning highly recommended. The central square is surrounded by ancient architecture and really comes alive at night, with locals taking a seat at one of the many restaurants under the light of the fairy-lit trees. The Duchy and the medieval herb garden are also worth a visit.
Other places of cultural/historical interest nearby: Dions (5km), Nîmes (20km), Avignon (50km), Les Baux de Provence and Arles.
Other local activities include wine tasting, seasonal wine, music and dance festivals in the region, horse-riding in Collias and Russan, walking and mountain biking, canoeing and kayaking at Collias (along the Gorges du Gardon down to Pont du Gard), 9-hole golf courses at Pont des Charrettes and Uzès, rock climbing at la Capelle and Masmolène or the cliffs of Collias and Russan, La Bouscarasse water park in Serviers (8km) and hot air ballooning in Uzès.Catering is available at the chateau by local catering companies (traiteurs) – typically this will cost from 30 euros per person for a four-course meal.
