Villa Information:

Maison du Paradis

Marina Port du Roy is built in the style of Port Grimaud where each individual house has its own private mooring. Maison du Paradis at the head of the main ‘island’ dominates the waterways with a 180 degree view of the canals surrounding it.

The house was finished in 2008 and is comfortably furnished with a superb audiovisual system throughout. A relaxed style of living is enhanced by the open plan living room and kitchen area opening onto the pool area. The lawn is planted with fruit trees and lavender and leads down to the private canal-side mooring. There is a downstairs bedroom ideal for an elderly couple or teenagers and upstairs the master bedroom has a large terrace overlooking the canal and furnished with table and chairs creating a lovely private area. The other bedrooms are of equal standard.

Aigues Mortes, which is within easy walking distance of the house, is a jewel of a medieval city preserved intact and with an amazing history. The city is enclosed within square walls which provide a framework for the grid-like streets enclosed within it. There are some excellent restaurants, bars and boutiques and a chance to sample local produce. The Camargue produces excellent beef, duck, seafood and fish and a mouth-watering variety of vegetables and fruit, all of which can be sampled in the local restaurants. The region has some excellent wines that are easily available, or you can visit the vineyards around Corbieres and Narbonnes.

The Camargue is a national park and home to the famous white horses of the area, black bulls and flamingos. There is a stunning variety of wildlife to see. Trekking, water cruises and safaris are available to take advantage of the park and see the wildlife within it. The beaches in the area are unspoilt and stretch for kilometres with no development and pristine forest behind the dunes. There are a number of beautiful villages and marinas to visit and some of the finest seafood in France available from the nearby lagoons, famous for oysters and mussels.

Boats can be hired and moored at your own mooring to tour the waterways in the Camargue or the famous Canal du Midi.
