Le Chateau de Pondres  

Between the Mediterranean Sea and the Cévennes, near the medieval town of Sommières in the Gard. This historic château sits midway between Nîmes and Montpellier — both about 30 minutes away — and overlooks a 15‑hectare park bordered by a river.

Château de Pondres is a prestige-filled retreat with elegant, historic spaces for a few hours, a night, or several days. Expect centuries-old parkland and river views, a calm, refined vibe ideal for recreation, work, or a peaceful French countryside escape.
