Sommières
Sommières — PBI COLLECTION® Selection<BR><BR><BR>There are places that can only be truly appreciated from a height.<BR>In the heart of the Vaunage region, in the Gard, between the Camargue and the Cévennes, halfway between Nîmes and Montpellier, lies a town built of pale stone.<BR>Dominated by its medieval castle and Roman bridge, Sommières has preserved a listed heritage of rare elegance from centuries past.<BR>It is from this breathtaking vantage point, which traces the town's history through its iconic buildings, that the ‘Blanc Méridien®' property, presented by PIERRES-BLANCHES®, reveals itself.<BR><BR><BR>THE ROOTS<BR>As you wind through the narrow streets, the arcaded square is home to the market. The cafés spill out onto the pavement; people mingle and stroll. Relaxed and invigorating.<BR>May we always find luxury in the simplicity of the ever-changing world.<BR><BR><BR>THE SCALE OF THE LANDSCAPE<BR>Spanning over 13,000 m², the park unfolds amidst Mediterranean flora.<BR>In this unspoilt Languedoc landscape, the vegetation creates a timeless perspective.<BR><BR><BR>THE GEOMETRY OF VOLUMES<BR>This architectural work is based on a compositional approach centred on the preservation of the existing natural environment.<BR>Its design emphasises horizontality and permeability between the built environment and the natural surroundings, so that architecture and landscape become canvases, criss-crossed by patterns of light that blend the plant forms with the built lines.<BR>The architectural design is based on the juxtaposition and interweaving of orthogonal volumes with sharp edges.<BR>A main building, rising over two storeys, acts as a visual focal point and breaks up the linearity of the whole.<BR>A modern aesthetic prevails; the roof terraces, edged with parapets, cut through the volumes with a clean line against the azure sky.<BR><BR><BR>THE ART OF HOSPITALITY<BR>From the very threshold, this 280 m² property extends its vanishing lines towards the horizon, dictated by a transparency that dissolves the boundary between the home and the panorama.<BR>The 100 m² reception area flows like a sentence unbroken by any punctuation. It unfolds as a single continuous space, with the living room, dining room and kitchen brought together beneath a ceiling framed by a graphic band. An intangible boundary that outlines the space with a jet-black line.<BR>Light serves as the raw material; it streams through the windows recessed into the partitions, erasing the threshold, whilst the architecture frames the landscape like a jewel.<BR>The garden, set at the very heart of the room, displays the full spectrum of its elements.<BR><BR><BR>THE BARK OF DREAMS<BR>The private areas feature two generously sized master suites, measuring 44 m² and 21 m² respectively, each with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes.<BR>In the extension housing the larger suite, the terrace offers a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside – a true invitation to contemplation and a change of scenery.<BR>Three junior bedrooms and a bathroom complete the layout.<BR>The upper floor is home to the master suite, measuring 42 m², which is extended by a dressing room.<BR>Adjacent to this, the hammam, designed with high-end finishes, forms the centrepiece of the wellness area, guaranteeing absolute comfort and relaxation.<BR><BR><BR>THE MERIDIANS OF THE SITE<BR>The outdoor spaces facilitate the transition between the property and the grounds through successive levels that define distinct areas of use.<BR>Beyond this, Mediterranean vegetation lines the vista and weaves an organic link with the building, filtering the daylight.<BR>The 9-metre-long infinity pool serves as a key element in the spatial layout. The vanishing point blends into the distance, and the reflective water surface mirrors the architecture, bringing the sky into the scene.<BR><BR><BR>ELEMENTS OF COMFORT<BR>Sommières — A 75 m² garage accommodates several vehicles, and a second ground-level entrance makes daily life easier.<BR>The historic town centre is three kilometres away. The property offers a respite, nestled between the tranquillity of the wide open horizons, the cultural and sporting activities of the surrounding area, and the region's fine dining.<BR>Well-proportioned spaces, carefully controlled light, and a constant dialogue with the landscape and the materials.<BR>From the freehand sketch to the final stone laid, the same high standards of rigour and precision are maintained.<BR><BR><BR>PIERRES-BLANCHES®<BR>Private viewing by appointment<BR>+33 (0)4 67 70 07 87<BR><BR><BR>Julie Pauille +33 (0)7 78 88 36 41<BR>Consultant and Sales Agent, RSAC Nîmes 922 908 389<BR><BR><BR>© PIERRES-BLANCHES®, 2026.
