Character house *** with well-equipped garden, quiet location near city center

Comfortable and spacious 5-room house and fitted kitchen with garden, quiet location near the center of a city of art and culture. In addition to the charm of Pézenas, you will appreciate all the beauty of the hinterland. It is an old family house completely renovated while having kept its original character. It is located 200 meters from the city's central course. It has an independent entrance on a very calm garden although close to the agricultural high school. The layout of the rooms is that of traditional bourgeois houses: on the ground floor, a fitted kitchen and a basement with shower and sink. On the first floor, a spacious bedroom, a room converted into a game or meeting room, a bathroom and a WC. On the second floor there are two large bedrooms: one with two twin beds and the other with a double bed.
Travelers have a separate entrance. They have unrestricted rights to the whole house except for a room downstairs used as an office by myself.

A lovely 2 week stay
Le Gîte Piscénois is a traditional, charming, and very comfortable French property in the heart of Pézenas. It is so well equipped with everything you could need - it lacks nothing and all is very thoughtfully provided. The property is only a minute's walk from the centre of Pézenas, a town full of history and wonderful places to eat. The road network also makes it an excellent base for exploring in all directions. Eric and Paule-Marie are perfect hosts providing very useful local information but without imposing in any way at all. Le Gîte Piscénois is highly recommended. Thank you for our wonderful stay!

Our stay in a Gite
Well kept, older, three floor house, in a quiet neighborhood, just one block from central Pezenas. We loved the large windows with traditional wooden shutters to keep out the heat. Eric and PaulaMarie are lovely people who made us feel welcome without pretensions but with real warmth. Any minor issues were attended to immediately upon request. We loved walking less than five minutes for coffee, a croissant, or a number of nice restaurants and cafes. The only minor drawback was that when we booked we thought that there were more than two toilets in the house. All in all a very good value for a taste of living in a well kept but older French home. Pezenas is far from bursting with tourists, but has a charm of its own, is surrounded by beautiful vineyards and is very close to the sea and the mountains. The food and wines were excellent and not expensive. The large and bustling Saturday market was a treat. Great experience!

Great location in a green garden
Eric's home is a traditional 100 year old house with very high ceilings. The kitchen and bedroom were very large. The kitchen is VERY well equipped with everything you would need for preparing meals. There's a large garden - unfortunately it was cold or rainy during our stay.. The best part is that it's only a short walk the center of town. We had some problems with being cold and losing internet, but Erick always responded immediately..

Even more than we had expected!
We spent our holiday in the house of Eric and his lovely wife for one week, starting from the 3rd of july 2021. What a wonderful time we had in Pezenas. Thanks to the house, the owners who are wonderful people, Pezenas which is beautiful (and its center is just around the corner). Within less than one our there is the mediterranean. Don 't forget to visit Beziers! We really recommend this house for a wonderful holiday in La Douce France.

An exceptional stay under exceptional circumstances
"Character house *** with well-equipped garden, quiet location near city center" is an accurate host's introduction to this Pezenas, France gite. It's also quite modest. From the attractive private outdoor space to an extremely well-equipped kitchen and spacious comfortable bedrooms, the physical environment is excellent. What sets this property apart from all others we have experienced is the hosts. They are a traveler's dream couple.

Great property in fabulous location!
We had a wonderful stay in this historic family home within an easy walk of everything Pezenas has to offer. Our hosts live in the adjoining home (it belonged to the owner's grandfather), so they were available to answer questions and help when we needed it. The house is very well-equipped, with comfortable beds and good linens. Bedrooms and kitchen/dining room are large and comfortable. Stairs are solid and even, so most everyone can navigate them without a problem . Two of the bedrooms are on the 3rd floor (which is 2nd floor in European calculation), so keep that in mind if anyone is mobility-challenged. We loved sitting out in the beautiful garden for meals and wine, and our dog was especially happy to have his own fenced area in which to relax. The only drawback is the absence of a proper living room/lounge. There is a small space on the second floor outside the bathroom/WC, but it isn't conducive to hanging out and relaxing. The kitchen table is big and we mostly sat there or in the beautiful garden. I highly recommend this home for visits to Pezenas, a most wonderful little town!

Pezenas was terrific
Eric and Paule Marie are terrific hosts, and added greatly to our enjoyment of Pezenas. The house was comfortable, everything was as advertised, and there were historical details that made it that much more interesting. If you love small but vibrant French villages (as we do), Pezenas gave you a surprise around every corner. Glad we picked this place. Bill and Bette Auten

Charming House, Ideally situated
The house is lovely and exceptionally well equipped. Eric and Marie are charming hosts. The house is very close to the old town, so an easy walk to restaurants and the market, but also very near the countryside which was ideal for walking our dog. The garden is dog proof, and has plenty of shade which we were glad of as it was a lot hotter during our stay than expected.

Everything we expected and more. Excellent hosts. Great town, loads to do.
M. Eric & Mme. Paule are excellent hosts and came to our rescue more than once during our visit. The rooms are large and cool. The wifi is excellent. Safe and scenic parking 100m away at the old Gare du Nord. Pezenas is a historic town with loads of artisan shops. Plenty of good restaurants. Ask Eric about the Bio supermarket. Visit Bouzigues and go the whole hog on oysters and Picpoul. The Grau d'Agde is a treat as is Marseillan. Ludovic there can rent you a self drive boat (sans permit) for a voyage through the lock to a very colourful restaurant (La Gangette). You must be on time for both of these. Due to a blustery morning we delayed departure and got to the lock just after lunch closure. We would definitely go back there again. There is a "Poulan" festival that is a must see if you are lucky enough to be there at the time. Ask Eric. It involves a multi manned "Chinese Dragon", but the Pezenas one is supposed to be a foal. Parents and children play music and dance as they follow the parade.

Vanaf het uitladen tot het vertrek hebben we ons prima vermaakt. (2 zussen, 2 echtgenoten en 2 pubers). Geen moment het gevoel gehad dat we bij elkaar op de lip zaten door de verschillende ruimtes. De 3 grote slaapkamers, de keuken, de badkamer, 2 toiletten en een doucheruimte waren goed voorzien van alles watwe nodig hadden.

Zentrumsnah, schönes Haus, liebe Vermieter
Wir verbrachten als Familie drei erholsame Wochen im Haus von Eric Baudou. Wir belegten hier alle Zimmer, kochten, spielten und musizierten. Das sympathisch und komfortabel eingerichtet Haus haben wir alle als sehr gemütlich empfunden. Viele Bücher und DVDs stehen zu Verfügung, an den Wänden hängen schöne Fotos und Bilder. Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet. Wir genossen unser Frühstück auf der Terrasse. Abends war es leider im Garten wegen vieler Mücken (vom Fischteich?) oft etwas ungemütlich. In wenigen Minuten konnten wir jedoch zu Fuß in Pézenas das alte Zentrum und viele Straßencafés (ohne Mücken) erreichen. Es handelt sich nicht um ein Haus mit Luxusbädern, dafür jedoch mit vielen Geschichten, alten Möbeln und mit Charakter. Unser Hund konnte sich frei auf dem Grundstück bewegen und sich mit dem Hund von Eric auf der anderen Seite des Zauns anfreunden. Während unserer Zeit in diesem Haus hatten wir mit Eric und seiner Frau Paule-Marie viele Begegnungen, die alle ausgesprochen angenehm waren. Wir erfuhren von kulturellen Veranstaltungen im Ort, von der Umgebung von Pézenas und lauschten den Erzählungen aus der Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart. Generell schätzten wir es sehr, in diesem schönen Haus zu wohnen, von den lieben Hausbesitzern und Nachbarn etwas über den Ort zu erfahren und morgens die Boulangerie und Samstags den Markt zu Fuß erreichen zu können. Wir würden sehr gerne wieder in dieses Haus kommen.

Un Bel endroit de retrouvailles
Cette maison a une âme et il y fait bon séjourner. Dans le cas précis de notre occupation, nous avons fait de la cuisine et de sa table, un endroit de convivialité. La maison était occupé par 4 personnes qui pendant 15 jours quittait le lieu au petit matin pour aller sur le tournage. Pendant ce temps, Odile venait occupait la cuisine, très bien équipée, pour préparer à manger midi et soir pour une dizaine de personne. Toute l'équipe était ravi de se retrouver à cette table pour les déjeuners et les diners, dedans ou en terrasse selon ce qu'on proposait la Météo. Le jardin est magnifique et le gîte est à 2 pas du centre. Nos hôtes ont été charmants et très accueillants. C'était un plaisir de résider au gîte piscénois.

La campagne en ville
Dans cette maison tout proche du centre ville, la campagne est encore là : oiseaux, nature, arbres... le charme du lieu tient au fait que la maison ancienne soit restée sans être défigurée, même si les équipements de vie moderne y sont tous. Et l’accueil des propriétaires ajoute encore au charme d’un séjour dans ce lieu très reposant : leur courtoisie et leur culture sont un régal !
