Close to the Cévennes National Park and the coastal town of Montpellier, a popular holiday resort, the Hôtel Particulier is located in the heart of the village.
It falls apart elegantly and has four old-fashioned but stunning en suite suites over four floors.
The place is full of high ornate ceilings, terracotta tiled floors and a beautiful wooden staircase leading up the building.
Large arched windows and glazed French doors lead onto balconies overlooking the picturesque village, whose origins date back to pre-Roman times.
