Appley Hoare, London based antique dealer, has just completed the restoration of a house in the Gard in south west France – it is situated on the outskirts of a village between the towns of Montpellier and Nimes – 25 minutes from either airport or the TGV. It is close to the Camargue which is a very interesting part of France and only 30 minutes from some wonderful sandy beaches. There are many interesting historic sights and towns to visit in the surrounding area also many good restaurants. Local towns have regular street markets and fairs where the famous Camargue bulls and white horses are run through the streets.
