The Nimes area

As we are on the edge of the Camargue and bull-running takes place in most villages between April and October. There are also processions and Provençal music. Each village fête runs over 3-4 days.
Are you a wine lover? Then visit a 'cave' and taste some of the many wines of the region which include Costieres de Nîmes and Côtes du Rhone.
If you're feeling lazy then take a picnic to a wild beach on the Camargue or hire a sun-lounger at Grau du Roi or La Grand Motte.
More energetic? Then you could try:
- Horse-riding across the Camargue
- Canoeing down the Gardon and under the Pont du Gard
- Birdwatching for pink flamingoes and other species in the Camargue
- Playing golf on one of 3 courses near Nîmes

“Comfortable stay. Perfect for day trips in South France” We stayed here for nine nights and we found it very pleasant and comfortable. Apartment was clean and all rooms were well looked after. It certainly made you feel at home. One minor thing - more storage needed in the kitchen for all the food and wine! Otherwise, properly facilitated kitchen and bathroom. The lovely little back garden was a treat for morning and evening meals. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful in answering all of our questions about the accommodation and the region. They prepared a superb information display of all the surronding areas and towns (no need to bring any guidebook!). However to see Provence and Gard, you definitely need wheels and this is the perfect location for day trips to see all the sights of this beautiful part of the world. Response: Thank you for your review. We'll certainly look into obtaining a wine rack for guests!

“Very comfortable apartment and helpful & friendly hosts” Loved the accommodation which suited us splendidly. It was very helpful to have a brochure with full details of tourist attractions available, with associated maps and information. We would definitely return again and very much enjoyed our stay. Response: It's great to hear that you enjoyed renting our apartment and that you found our information helpful. Thank-you.

“The perfect place to relax” We really enjoyed our time here. We like being able to cook for ourselves and being able to eat out in the garden was perfect. It's cool in the summer, clean and lots of room to spread out. We used both the local bus into nimes and had a rental car. The bus is a bit spotty in the summer, but it didn't stop us from getting around. Having a car here was easy, since I didn't have to be concerned about getting in and out of the big city. Meg has spent a lot of time laying out information about local sites and scenic routes to make the most of your time here. Meg and Neil were most accommodating; their willingness to pick us up at the beginning and drop us off at the end in Nimes was very much appreciated. We had a lovely time here. You are great hosts! Response: We are so pleased that your stay was enjoyable and that you managed to visit the most important sites around this lovely area.

“A great apartment in a central location for the Carmargue” The apartment was clean and well equipped - large bedroom -small sitting room with a sofa that could fold down to another bed - kitchen has a good oven and also a microwave- even storage containers that we took out for salad- everything you could possibly want for self catering. The location is a quiet residential area- able to get good nights sleep. Anyone wanting a vibrant night life would have to go to Nimes, which is an easy drive away. We enjoyed warm evenings in the garden or a stroll in the local area. When we stayed there was a local festival of the bull - local people friendly and welcoming. Local patisserrie and grocers and supermarkets for any food shopping. The location is ideal if you are happy to travel to what you want to see- no more than an hours drive to explore various parts of the commargue and towns like avignon and arles - great for wild life and following the footsteps of artists like Van Gough. The Proprietors live upstairs and are very willing to help out if asked with any problems- we lost our return boarding tickets and they let us use their internet connection to print some more off. They also comprised a file of interesting days out and were a great source of information. Only disappointment was that no English speaking channels on the TV! - had to brush up on the French language. Response: We are very pleased that our clients enjoyed their stay in our apartment. It means a lot to us to know that visitors have enjoyed their holiday to the full.

The apartment is great value for money. We could not believe how spacious it is. Your information pack is excellent and you have been excellent hosts!
