The story
Set within the grounds of the Château de Collias, a private estate between Uzès and the Pont du Gard, L'Hirondelle offers a dining experience rooted in modern cuisine. The restaurant is part of a characterful château that can be rented in its entirety or in part, with 14 rooms accommodating up to 28 guests. The property's privileged location along the gorges of the Gardon provides a tranquil, natural backdrop.
The restaurant has earned a Michelin recommendation, a recognition that speaks to the quality and care of the kitchen. While the château itself is a venue for private events, weddings, and seminars, L'Hirondelle stands as a destination for those seeking refined dining in this corner of the Gard. The atmosphere is shaped by the estate's historic architecture and its surrounding park, with outdoor seating available for warmer months.
The menu reflects a modern approach, drawing on the resources of the region. Given the château's role as a private hire venue, dining at L'Hirondelle is often part of a broader experience—whether a private stay, a celebration, or a catered event. The restaurant also offers a set lunch menu, making it accessible for a leisurely midday meal.
The château's team welcomes direct contact for inquiries about availability and organization of stays or events. The restaurant's setting, between Nîmes and Avignon, places it within easy reach of major southern cities while retaining a sense of seclusion. For those exploring the Pont du Gard or the historic town of Uzès, L'Hirondelle provides a polished stop for modern French cuisine.
