Environment ✧ pine and scrub woods, rocky little river valleys; hikes on doorstep
Services ✧ all
Access ✧ bus/station at door: 1h Nimes / 1h30 airport, 2h15 Marseille/Montpellier airport, 5h Paris/Barcelona (2 changes)
Notes/Area ✧ this little town is fairly pretty and lively with a good market and some cafes (including a salad bar) etc, multiple good restos, plus sushi and burgers
✦ the main town of Alès used to be rather ugly yet is undergoing rehabilitation notably with a new market hall and square planned for reopening in 2025, it's moderately lively and has tons of shops and restos, even an icerink
✦ in 2028 the railway line will be reopened bringing the main town to 20mins, until then the bus is reasonably good at 30mins (last 6:30pm) however visits should be minimal, mainly for access
✦ onward connections have good choice; Nimes airport is a train then shuttle and normally has year round service to Stansted and Brussels, plus seasonal to Luton and Morocco; many more options including Lisbon from both Marseille and Montpellier
✦ last train from Nimes is at 9:20pm which isn't bad, but last bus 6pm thus late arrivals would require pickup but should be avoidable
the river at the door isn't good for swimming though fine nearby for a splash, better and kayaking 20mins walk, or bike/bus
✦ 10mins walk to tennis, and a garden with a small natural rockface for climbing
✦ good variety for biking some trails reaching 600m (400m ascent), and including 3h with just a single road crossing
✦ 3 hikes/walks start 10mins along lanes with circuits and strolls possible, one to a ruined fort (being rebuilt by an association), a short drive gives more variety such as these lovely eroded pools 30mins drive (1h15 bike) good gorges with sup/kayak/climbing, and heights around 900m at a pretty village, plus the pont d'arc are 30mins drive
✦ with the train to Besseges there'll be even more paths and trails
✦ for daytrips the nice little towns of Uzes and Andouze are a reasonable 45mins drive with the famous Pont du Gard at 1h
✦ winter climate is pretty good with an entire third of days clear and just a few of snow, though gets bursts of very heavy rain in spring and autumn and this is getting worse, with little rainfall the rest of the year

Notes/Property ✧ VISITED 8/5/24
✦ rejected due to being too rambling in multiple parts and requiring roof work, but has 2 small courtyards and a potential roof terrace, and does not include the east section and tower, nor the attic of the north section which woudl be very problematic will be a co-propropriete
down from 113k
✦ very haphzard and requiring a fair bit of work to optimise, but partly usable and some very nice big rooms
✦ 200m2 parcel with essentially 4 buildings (all 3 floors) jammed together, and spanning between 2 lanes with a somewhat squashed courtyard in between and surrounded by 3-floor houses
✧ main/west is 55m2 +attic with windows; 5.2m wide
✧ courtyard ~2.5m deep for 20m2 south-east exposed but surrounded by tall walls from all other directions thus shaded
✧ north annexe ~25m2 (*3)with a small circular tower 50
✧east annexe on courtyard ~12m2 (*3) with a roof terrace accessible from the tower 35
✧ east building spanning onto next lane slightly offset and very narrow (2m) ~15m2 spanning to the next lane behind the tower 45
✦ the east windows of the main building are large, the west smaller
✦ whilst the courtyard is deep, the east annexe next to the tower could have its roof turned into another terrace, and/or part of the north annexe, also the ground of the courtyard could be covered thus becoming a roof terrace, though possibly an intrusion for neighbours
