Last week my family and I travelled to Uzes in Provence for a week’s holiday. It was organised very last minute as we weren’t sure if my husband could take the time off work. As soon as I got the all clear (a few days before we set off) I hit the internet in search of the perfect place.
As my husband is half French we’re keen for the girls to spend time in the country and have a taste of their family heritage. We stayed in Uzes a few years back, when Dom proposed and fell in love with this beautiful area in the South of France. After I managed to get us the flights and a car, I had the more difficult challenge of finding our accommodation.
I knew I wanted to hire a house/ apartment and not stay in a hotel - as we’re a family of four and need more space than a hotel room can offer. I’d heard so many people rave about AirBnB but had never used it myself, so I thought I’d start there. After spending a few hours on the app and sending a few emails, I’d managed to secure two amazing properties, both with a private pool and situated just outside Uzes. One was an antique filled apartment with a roof terrace, in the countryside and the other was a recently renovated 18th Century village house.
Our first stop was the apartment in Les Elzears, which was just beautiful. We had a two bedroom apartment, with a kitchen, bathroom, dining room and a private roof terrace and was decorated using French antique furniture and accessories. We spent nights on the roof terrace staring up at the star filled sky and days in the large, dreamy garden and next to the beautiful pool. Here are the pictures from Les Elzears…

Hi Emma - Thanks for commenting. Yes, it really was stunning! It was all so last minute but I’m so glad we went. The memories and photos will be cherished forever!
Wow, that looks lovely. I’ve always quite fancied a holiday in the south of France, it just looks like a gorgeous place and such a laid back way of life, just the place for a quiet holiday. We’ve never been on Holiday as a family but this would be right up my street I think #sharewithme x
I would recommend it to you 100%. It is all you described and more, so beautiful and tranquil. The food is amazing and the scenery is breath-taking, I literally had my camera in my hand all day.
Having you own space also means that you can come and go as you please, which is really nice when you have little ones. Look out for Part 2, coming soon!! ; )
WOW this looks stunning what a beautiful place to visit. I love all your amazing photos. Last minute too you are great getting something like this sorted. Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me #sharewithme
Thank you! Yes, I was very lucky to find these amazing places last minute. AirBnB is so addictive and has thousands of beautiful properties. Have a look!
