accuracy and completeness of the statements herein. These particulars do not constitute any recommendation or offer to enter into any
contract regarding this property. Uzège Transactions et Développement does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any description,

Market opportunity Underserved hospitality market with 2m visitors per year within 30 km
Ideal location The estate:
Is located right at the center of the French Mediterranean region, where Provence meets
Languedoc;
Enjoys extremely convenient access from anywhere in France, Europe or the world thanks to
a network of motorways, train lines et airports second to none;
Is less than 30 minutes away from the ancient Roman aqueduc the Pont-du-Gard (1.3 million
visitors a year), Avignon the other Papal city (700,000 visitors a year) and also Uzès, smaller
medieval art and center of growing reputation (300,000 visitors);
Is self-contained, very private and very easy to develop.
Underserved hospitality market The upmarket hotel rooms offer in the vicinity of the Pont-du-Gard, the second most visited site in
France (after the Eiifeel tower) is extremely limited: less than 100 rooms in a 15-km radius around the
Roman aqueduc.
For over 10 years, elected officials and local authorities have been clamoring for the development of
large capacity (up to 300 rooms) hotel or resort in the vicinity of the Pont-du-Gard. The main cause of
the lack of such a development is the availability of appropriate land – which creates a unique
opportunity at Panery.
Note: the projected 36,000 rooms sold presented in the indicative development proposal above
represent 65,000 customers (1.8 guests per room) each year – i.e. only 3.2% of the 2 million local
visitors.

Growth tourism markets The proposed development will benefit on three growing tourism markets, all catering to the over 50
crowd blessed with a strong purchasing power:
Wine tourism : Designated one of the 5 central development axis for the French tourism
industry, in between the Vallée du Rhone and Languedoc vineyards, the largest in France;
Golf : A renewed interest from both French and foreign players, within the context of the
upcoming Ryder Cup in France in 2018 ;
Wellness : Boomers want meaningful experiences, whether that means adventure, exercise,
self-improvement or service.
