Villa Fauve Maison d'Hôtes

About

A place,A time,An ambiance … Saint Maximin, located just a short distance from Uzès and its Duchy, has stood on its spur of rock keeping watch over vineyards and orchards since time immemorial.Nestling behind a castle several centuries old that once played host to dramatist Jean Racine, is the Villa fauve where time passes at its own pace. Its old stonework witnessed an eventful history dating back to the days of the Knights Templar. Now, it teaches us the patience and humility that our frantic era has forgotten. At the Villa fauve, time is meaningless. Only the Mistral wind and a few crickets break the silence.The light almost becomes an obsession, filled as it is with the elements that made Fauvism so extraordinary - the extravagant colours, the audacious contrasts. Nature here is a constant reminder of the Great Masters. Every morning, Matisse, Vlaminck and Braque seem to come together to reinvent the landscape.
