The villa and surroundings
17 June 2012We were staying in the hamlet of Privat, in a renovated villa (“La Parran”) with swimming pool, surrounded by vineyards and lush countryside.
Here are some photos from around the villa, a wine-tasting at the vinery next door, and a little walk into the hills above Privat.
In case you missed it - yup, there's a pool!
Views from the balcony over the neighbouring vinryards
"La Parran", our holiday villa for a week
Looking up to the hills where I will shortly be sweating through by foot and bike
Flowers by the pool
The courtyard
The turret, just to give the villa that chateau-like touch
Lavendar growing in the courtyard
Inside, in the living/dining room - sometimes a respite from the heat outdoors... sometimes worse!
Complimentary wine-tasting at Domaine Challais, next door.
Off for a walk into the hills and woods - this is looking back at the villa and the hamlet of Privat.
Serious vineyard country
A little view across some of the 'Gard' region
Steep track for 30 degrees C...
A bit of shade was always appreciated
Looking south (roughly) over "Gard"
Wild oats (?) growing by a vineyard.
