Mas Vacquières is situated in the hamlet of Vacquières, between Alès and Uzès. It is surrounded by the Carrigue, a wonderful, vast wildlife area, with a large variety of birds and butterflies.
The unique swimming-pool - size 6,5 x 12,5 metres (20 x 38 ft) – is surrounded by ancient walls of a former fold. The walls reflect the heat of the sun, resulting in a comfortable water temperature from early spring onwards.
