Introducing your private Château
Nestled near Saint-Ambroix, at the meeting point of the Cévennes and Ardèche, Château du Grès is rented exclusively — one group, the whole house, no one else on the property. It's a rare kind of stay: 1.6 hectares of private parkland, a bamboo grove, direct access to the Cèze river, and rooms that hold real character rather than resort polish.
This is a house for arriving properly — for long table dinners, mornings by the pool, walks into the village, and evenings that don't need an agenda. Fifty minutes from Nîmes airport, but a world away from it.

Château Amenities
Downstairs, the château opens into a cozy salon, a grand dining room, and a billiard/bar room — plus the heart of the house, a farm-style kitchen with lofty ceilings, fully equipped for real cooking. Upstairs, four newly-renovated suites each have their own en-suite bathroom; three further double rooms share a bathroom with shower. Together, the house sleeps up to 15 guests across 7 bedrooms.
Château Grounds
1.6 hectares, entirely yours
The park unfolds in layers: ancient trees giving way to a bamboo grove, open lawns for pétanque, and paths that lead down to your own stretch of the River Cèze. The pool — 14×7m, covered, unheated — was fully renewed in 2023; it's a proper swim, not a warm bath. In the Orangerie, table tennis and games for slower afternoons. Beyond the gate, fields run down to a quiet forest and a private beach on the Cèze, where the water does the entertaining.
The Region
Between Uzès, the Cévennes, and the Ardèche
Barjac's antique markets are ten minutes away. Uzès — arcaded squares, a Saturday market locals still shop at, restaurants worth planning a day around — is thirty-five minutes. North, the Cévennes National Park opens into hiking and the Ardèche's river gorges; south, the Camargue's wild horses and salt flats. Nîmes airport and the TGV are fifty minutes out, close enough for an easy arrival, far enough that the quiet holds.
