Maison 1643

Chez
Véronique & Frédéric

East of Alès, Maison1643 reinvents the art of hospitality in a former 17th-century silkworm farm. Three XL rooms, a natural swimming pool, a garden bordered by rivers, and a sophisticated table d'hôte reflect the expertise of Véronique and Frédéric.

Passionate about gastronomy, they initially wanted to reinvent themselves, come up with an idea, and then open a restaurant. In Provence. Véronique and Frédéric finally left Lyon, came up with an idea, and opened a guesthouse with table d'hôte meals. In the Gard region, east of Alès. Two buildings, an enclosed courtyard paved with stone from the Pont du Gard, a covered courtyard, a colonnaded passageway, vaulted rooms, terracotta floors, a garden bordered by rivers... They immediately fell in love with this former 17th-century silkworm farm, which became a family home and vacation spot. A name, 1643 (the year it was built), three XL bedrooms, a swimming pool (without chemical treatment), a well-thought-out antique collection, and a large, secluded garden where you can take a nap in the shade; Maison1643 has become a place to escape to. Add to that 100% homemade breakfasts and a sophisticated table d'hôte (they both trained at the Institut Lyfe, formerly the Institut Paul Bocuse, in Lyon), and you have the perfect combination. 

3 good reasons to go

  1. for the breakfasts and table d'hôte meals that are always reinventing themselves
  2. for the house's proximity to Uzès, Orange, Nîmes, Avignon, the Pont du Gard, and more
  3. for the songs of the river that borders the garden and the cicadas
Price
