Eco-responsibility of Mas des Sages

Eco-responsibility

Sensitive to environmental issues since its creation in 2009, we have started over the years a virtuous approach for our Mas. We strive to respect our exceptional living environment by being attentive to the relevance of our investments in terms of equipment, and committed to raising awareness among our visitors.

 

Sustainable values and commitments

The Labels, a guarantee of a responsible stay: the Mas des Sages is labeled Qualité Tourisme, Chambre d'hôtes Reference, Gîtes de France***, Meublé de Tourisme*** and Accueil Vélo.

It is partly thanks to the Sustainable Tourism Fund of Ademe and Gard Tourisme that we are able to implement actions aimed at preserving the planet.

Next step, apply for the very selective European Ecolabel to take our approach even further.


Awareness and communication

A number of small actions on vacation can have a big impact.It seemed appropriate to us to stage them so that young and old alike could act as if they were at home.
Our ambition: no guilt-inducing but engaging messages!

The fiber wifi is here!

In our countryside, the fiber wifi will have taken a little longer to reach our homes than in the cities, but we are now connected and the system is fully operational.

What does this mean for you? Better speed, obviously, for your content and connections. And above all, you will be able to efficiently telework from our guesthouse in full comfort and peace of mind. You can have Zoom or Webex meetings, prepare of your presentations, your communication and your professional exchanges. All this in a quiet and rejuvenating setting, in the countryside, a few kilometers from Uzès.

When the weather is nice, you can telework outside, and splash in the pool between two meetings. We take care of your room, your breakfast, and if you wish, we can prepare a lunch basket for you, and the evening meal. If you prefer to go out for a while, you will find restaurants within a 3 km radius of our guesthouse, and a large panel of cultural and outdoor activities. 

Before or after your day of teleworking, you can run, cycle, hike or even ride horse, on site, from the Mas des Sages, without needing your car. Nature is beautiful, and the scrubland and the forest wait for you in all seasons.

And if your electric or hybrid car needs recharging, our Wallbox terminal is at your disposal.

To book your room, click on this link , or call us on +33 4 66 63 10 23. We will be delighted to welcome you!

New at Mas des Sages: charging station for electric vehicles

New at the Mas des Sages! From now on, it is possible to charge your electric car with us.

It is important for us to continue to improve our services and to meet your expectations as closely as possible. So we installed a Wallbox Copper SB charging station, compatible with all types of electric vehicles and rechargeable hybrids of type 1 and 2 single-phase (compatible 3 phases 32A). Its integrated socket can charge any electric vehicle on the market, including Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X. The Power Boost function ensures that your vehicle is recharged at the maximum power available.

One more reason to come and stay at the Mas des Sages, isn't it? Let us know when you are coming by electric or hybrid car, and we will reserve the charging station for you, which will be available upon your arrival.

This process of installing a Wallbox electric vehicle charging station is also part of our efforts to help save our planet. A modest contribution, of course, but every small step counts!

The Gard and the Water

Do you like water? Then the Gard will know how to seduce you.

Apart from the swimming pool from Le Mas des Sages, where it is nice to relax, to splash around, swim or play, there also is... the Gardon of course. The Gardon has its source in the Cévennes, and flows into the Rhône near the city of Beaucaire. The river passes under the Pont du Gard, to the joy of kayakers and other water sports enthusiasts, including swimmers. Its banks and gorges offer many possibilities for hikes and walks .

Closer to the Mas des Sages, you can a spot to fish for trout. A pretty little lake awaits fishermen in Aigaliers, next to the aquatic park La Bouscarasse, in a friendly and good-natured atmosphere. A small tavern ("guinguette") offers refreshments and small meals.

A superb pond is located in La Capelle-et-Masmolène, a few kilometers from Saint-Quentin-la -Poterie, a pure delight for the ornithologists among you. This pond is an impluvium, that is to say a rainwater reservoir, a rare body of water in the usual scrubland of the Gard. Its area is 42 ha and the biodiversity is remarkable.

Scuba diving enthusiasts will be happy in Le Grau du Roi . The sea is beautiful there, and in particular the Espiguette beach of Espiguette is worth the detour. Try to go there early in the morning or at the end of the day, or even better off season, to fully enjoy this unspoiled and wild environment. Take the opportunity to visit the Camargue and its typical fauna: Camargue horses, bulls, pink flamingos. Change of scenery guaranteed.

If you prefer to go boating elsewhere than on the sea, do not miss the river port of Aramon or that of Vallabrègues, located on the Rhône. It is a little bit further away from Aubussargues, but once there, you will be very close to Villeneuve-lès-Avignon where you can visit the Chartreuse Notre Dame du Val de Bénédiction, the Philippe Lebel tower and the Saint André fort. Or cross the Rhône and discover the Palais des Papes in Avignon.

This is only a small selection, but you understand it: between rivers and streams, lakes and ponds, and of course the sea, the Gard offers many water points for all kinds of activities and outings, and in all seasons .

There are other loops in the territory of Uzès Pont du Gard, not to mention the Voie Verte, with the inauguration of new sections in 2020. Miles of happiness for cyclists! And you can cross the Pont du Gard by bike, an experience you should not miss.

A cold drink on the terrace, and a refreshing meal made with fresh  seasonal and local products... A good night's sleep in a quality bed, a good breakfast, before getting back on your bike fresh and ready for a new day of discoveries!

As you will have understood, you will be well received at the Mas des Sages. Book your stay now!

The latest information

Our guest house is currently closed until May 11, 2020 by prefectural decree.
But we are on deck to open and welcome you as soon as possible, and you can contact us to book your stays.

Meanwhile, we take advantage of the lockdown to do a little painting, gardening, and to think about and implement the measures and adjustments that this pandemic requires.

We have made a health charter, which you can find on the dedicated page on this site, which explains everything we do for your safety, and ours. As well as for cleaning and disinfection, as for breakfasts and the host table. We make every effort to facilitate the respect of the distance of at least one meter between you and us, and between you and the other hosts. This implies for example for our guest rooms a shift for breakfast times, and spaced tables. It will no longer be possible to have a joint table, whether between hosts or with us.Fortunately, our house is large enough to be able to offer everyone a dedicated space.

We are closely monitoring developments, and look out for local initiatives such as the delivery of meals, groceries, fruit and vegetables and other fresh produce, drive-in farmers' markets and deposit points.

This also concerns the activities and entertainment that will be offered and accessible after the confinement, and we will list them for you.

We would be happy to welcome you in the coming months, to spend a moment of relaxation in our beautiful countryside, as a couple, with family or friends. It is entirely possible to make your reservations now. Our cancellation conditions are relaxed, because we know that no one at the moment can accurately predict what is ahead of us. You can contact us by phone or email for any questions.

Take care of yourself, and hope to see you soon!
