Villages, landscapes and walks
To plan a stay in the Gard, four areas provide useful landmarks: the Rhône Valley, the Cèze Valley, Uzès and the Pont du Gard, and the Camargue gardoise. Villages, vineyards, Roman heritage and coastal landscapes offer varied discoveries. Choosing a property close to your main sightseeing destinations limits travelling.
On the right bank of the Rhône, Villeneuve-lès-Avignon brings together the Chartreuse, Fort Saint-André and Tour Philippe-le-Bel. Towards Tavel, Lirac and Laudun, roads cross vineyards and lead to villages and wine estates.
To the north, the Cèze Valley can be explored between the river and villages, from Montclus to La Roque-sur-Cèze near the Sautadet waterfalls. Barjac and Aiguèze also provide access to the area around the Ardèche Gorges.
Uzès can be explored around its ducal castle, old-town lanes and Place aux Herbes. Further south, the Pont du Gard spans the Gardon. Castillon-du-Gard and nearby villages complement these sightseeing days.
From this area, an excursion to Nîmes extends the discovery of Roman history through the arena, Maison Carrée and Musée de la Romanité. To the west, the Cévennes, around Anduze and Saint-Jean-du-Gard, offer further outings among wooded valleys and paths.
To the south, Aigues-Mortes and its walls border the marshes and salt pans. Le Grau-du-Roi and Espiguette Beach open onto the Mediterranean. This area combines sightseeing, Camargue landscapes and seaside days, without trying to reach the villages in the north of the department every day.
Spring and autumn suit sightseeing and walks. Summer is lively, but days can be very hot on the plains. In the Cévennes, plan outings according to altitude and weather.
Nîmes can be explored on foot from the station. The Pont du Gard and Uzès are accessible by bus from Avignon.
A property around Villeneuve-lès-Avignon or on the Gard bank of the Rhône makes a day in Avignon possible. It is a way to combine a city visit with the neighbouring villages and vineyards.
