The  "Le Mas de l'Amant" is in the Gard, one of the southern provinces of the Languedoc Roussillon. Located on the edge of a small village of 200 people, an agricultural and vineyard community, you will arrive at "Mas de l'Amant" along a driveway bordered with olive-trees and cypress. This 18th century stone house is situated in the middle of 7 hectares of land where the  silence is disturbed only by the cicadas.
