Work on converting the Bastide into the 6 luxury apartments that we have today began in early 2007 & was completed in mid 2008 . Because of the age of the building a lot of renovation work was required in order to retain the character of such a beautiful 19th century building . Now aproximately 15 years on we still get a thrill out of sharing this place with our guests . So whether you are seeking a relaxing break by the pool, enjoying the countryside, sampling the superb wines from nearby vineyards, sight seeing, or having a more active holiday, La Bastide des Lavandières apartments are ideally placed.
We are sure you will love your stay here in this wonderful area of france as much as we do

La Bastide des Lavandieres is located in the village of Canaules deep in the Languedoc wine producing region of the south of France . Originally constructed during the 19th century (1850) it has previously been used as a small hotel as well as a café & a night club . Following extensive renovations & rebuilding during 2007 & the early months of 2008 this wonderfully preserved stone building has now been converted into six luxury apartments with private off-road parking & extra large swimming pool.

Canaules is a typical French village - small but full of character . It is close to a number of larger villages & small towns as well as numerous vineyards - many of which welcome visitors . Guests are very welcome to come & visit our friends the Plagne family at the nearby Domaine de la Vallière and also the Chardonnaud family at Domaine les Vieux Foudres . Both vineyards are delighted to welcome our guests for tastings , tours etc .

Nearby you will find a selection of excellent restaurants & typically French small bars -including our own village café / bar which is less than a one minute walk from your apartment . Ales which is just a 15 minute drive away has all of the shopping & entertainment options you would find in any large city of it's size . It also has a great sandy river beach as well ! Nimes , Montpellier & Marseilles are just 3 of the cities which are easily reached as well as the beaches on the coast or the skiing in the Cevennes.

It is our aim that guests who stay in La Bastide des Lavandieres will go home with the desire to return time & time again . To achieve this aim we know that the quality of the accommodation we provide needs to be very good. We believe that this wonderful 19th century building will live up to all expectations & that a return visit will be on everyones' agenda after experiencing what we have to offer. We look forward to seeing you in Canaules !
