The Languedoc-Roussillon / Gard region

The Department of the Gard is named after its river and it stretches from the Cevennes hills in the north to the Mediterranean in the south. It has one of the best climates in France.

It is on the doorstep of Provence with many of the towns and villages within 1 hour’s drive of Uzès.
Les Arenes – the magnificent arena in Nimes is probably the best preserved of the 70 surviving in the world. Weekly bullfights in the summer still pull in the crowds and it provides a superb backdrop for concerts and other events.

The Gard is also home to the Rhone delta (also known as the Camargue), with bulls quietly grazing on the marshy banks, beautiful hardy white Camargue horses and pink flamingos searching for food. It is a haven for many species of birds and other wildlife. Here you will find the delightful town of Aigues-Mortes established by Louis IX as the departure point for the Crusades. You can enjoy a relaxing boat trip from here where you will be taken to see the Bulls being herded and all eth natural wildlife of the area.

Watch the Birds of prey fly in Beaucaire. Take a wine tour or visit potteries and craft centres.
In Vergeze you can discover the secrets to the production of Perrier spring water, which is still bottled at its source here.

There is a wide variety of things to do in the Gard and surrounding areas, good food and excellent local wine of course, but also excellent markets, antique shops, potteries, museums and architecture. Enjoy the Gard's numerous sporting opportunities; canoeing in the Gorges du Gardon, horse riding in the oak forests or mountain biking following the route of the Roman aqueduct. Also Golf, Tennis, Fishing, Walking and Hiking, Rock Climbing etc. A romantic dawn Balloon flight over Uzege is a must. If shopping is your thing the Avignon is a 20 minute drive away.
