INTRODUCTION

Located near Saint-Ambroix in the Gard (Occitanie), at the edge of the Cévennes and close to the Ardèche, Château du Grès is available for exclusive rental as a private estate for families, groups, and extended stays. Combining space, privacy, and authentic character, the château offers a rare alternative to villas and holiday homes in the South of France.

Set in a quiet natural environment yet within reach of Uzès, Barjac, and local villages, the property is ideally suited for those seeking a slower pace of life—whether for a week-long holiday, a multi-generational family gathering, or a longer stay working remotely.

 

With generous living areas, outdoor space, and direct access to the Cèze river, Château du Grès provides a unique setting where guests can enjoy both comfort and connection to nature.
