The space
The Maison de l'Aguze offers a calm and welcoming space in the heart of Saint-Pons de Thomières, a small but bustling Languedoc town. The house is built around a spacious private courtyard, with views of the Aguze stream, the market square, and rolling hills. Built in a traditional style, the thick stone walls keep the house cool, even on the hottest of days. Five uniquely designed bedrooms each have modern ensuite bathrooms, coupled with period furniture and features. New for 2026, a self-contained 2 bedroom apartment with private courtyard is perfect for longer stays.
VISIT SAINT-PONSA house with history
Dating back to the mid 18th century, the Maison de l’Aguze and has had many incarnations over the years. The house was originally an important leather tannery and textile factory owned by the Laugé family, part of the booming textile industry of the era. An old banker's office is currently being converted into Studio Aguze, our new residential recording studio. The house also accommodated a wine-maker, a locksmith, a shoe-maker, and a barber shop. Today, the Maison de l’Aguze welcomes guests from all over the world, while we continue to find clues and learn about the history of this wonderful home.

The courtyard can also accommodate small yoga groups and private gatherings.
