In the village of Foussargues, 9km northwest of Uzès via the D981, this Dutch-run B&B is set in a wonderful 2-hectare garden. Built by a winemaker in the late 18th century, today it blends old and new: rustic stone and flagstones meet glossy wooden floors and sleek designer furniture. Some rooms have bedroom mezzanines. Prices exclude breakfast (€8.50-15).
