Villevieille

France

The Château de Pondres **** is situated in the town of Villevieille, in the Occitanie region of southwestern France. It is around 45 minutes from the city of Montpellier, 1 hour from the city of Avignon, and less than an hour from the beautiful Camargue natural park.

PLANE

  • Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport (MPL) is the closest airport, but it offers few flights internationally, receiving regular flights from Paris and seasonal flights from the UK.

    The closest well-served international airports are: Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (TLS) and Marseille-Provence Airport (MRS), located 2 hours; both receive flights from many capitals and major cities across Europe.
