I stayed in the house a few times as guest of the owners. It's one of the grandest houses in the city, a spacious set of rooms located right in the middle of this Roman city. The arena on one side, the forum on the other, with a great view of the city from the roof terrace. If you like culture, arts and especially photography, this is a perfect location with the cultural venues within a short walk and the villages of Provence a short driving distance away. The Rencontres de la photographie in summer is possibly the most important photography exhibition in Europe. It occupies several historical buildings in the old city as well as the vast railway hangars just outside of the centre. You buy a pass and visit at your leisure. Nearby are the Parc naturel de la Camargue, the amazing medieval fortified town of Aigues-Mortes. The Mas de la Chassagnette is a great restaurant in the countryside.
