La Maison du Puisatier

The Maison du Puisatier is a treasure nestled within one of the top three most coveted streets in Uzès, the Grande Bourgade. Situated in a tranquil part of the historic center, it stands out as a quintessential Uzès house, built from local golden stone. Its high stone walls create an intimate refuge, free from prying eyes, and conceal a stunning outdoor area – a rare luxury in Uzès. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the kitchen: fully equipped, welcoming, and cozy. It’s where you gather after market visits (on Wednesday and Saturday mornings!) to unpack baskets full of fresh produce.

But that’s not all! Before being able to add these final touches, an extensive restoration was necessary. The house, acquired in 2022, had been abandoned for about thirty years – becoming what Anne-Caroline affectionately calls “a cabinet of curiosities.”To restore its original charm, particular attention was paid to the terracotta floor tiles, wooden beams, and the new Provençal tile roof. While emphasizing natural materials (lime walls and furniture sourced locally), comfort played an important role in the project (creation of two modern bathrooms, organic toiletries from Muzzü, linen bedding…).

In love with the region, Anne-Caroline has put together a meticulously curated digital guide for her guests, featuring recommendations for restaurants, shops, and businesses, as well as the best swimming spots and other must-visit locations in Occitania. Just a few kilometers away, the Gardon Gorges – a preserved natural reserve – are accessible for a day of picnicking and swimming. Following a 5 km hike from the village of Russan, Le Castellas presents a breathtaking viewpoint. Finally, the unmissable Pont du Gard is only 15 minutes from the house. In the village, guests can wander through its pedestrianized streets, explore flea markets, browse decorative boutiques, and sample local cuisine. Finally, at home, it’s time to enjoy a swim in the pool installed on the submerged beach, splashing around for hours. A relaxing way of life, in sync with the Mediterranean-inspired decor, fostering the quintessential laid-back vibe of southern vacation homes.
