Bed and breakfasts in Gard, between Uzès, Pont du Gard and the Cévennes
The Gard: between the Mediterranean and the Cévennes
The Gard brings together several southern landscapes in a relatively compact area. It stretches from the Mediterranean edge and the Camargue to the Cévennes, while the Rhône Valley forms one of its major lines of travel.
To the north, around Barjac, the department approaches the Ardèche Gorges. To the west, the Cévennes foothills bring a rougher landscape of stone, garrigue and narrow valleys.
The mark of Roman civilization
Roman heritage is one of the Gard’s strongest features. Nîmes has preserved its amphitheatre and the Maison Carrée, while the Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct, still spans the Gardon River with remarkable presence. Nearby, Castillon-du-Gard keeps the scale and texture of a medieval village.
A wine-growing terroir
The sunny, dry climate of the Gard has long supported vine growing. Around Laudun, Chusclan and Lirac, the Rhône-side vineyards have recognized appellations, while Tavel is known for one of France’s landmark rosé wines.
Towns and villages of character
Uzès is one of the key towns of the Gard side of Provence, with historic streets around its ducal castle and the Place aux Herbes.
The Gard is also home to numerous picturesque and historic villages, including:
- Lussan: a hilltop village listed among the most beautiful villages in France.
- Castillon-du-Gard: a charming medieval village near the Pont du Gard.
- La Roque-sur-Cèze: a village overlooking the Sautadet waterfalls on the Cèze River.
- Montclus: a peaceful village along the Cèze River, surrounded by nature.
- Aiguèze: a medieval perched village on the border with the Ardèche.
- Barjac: a town renowned for its antique market and authentic setting at the foot of the Cévennes.
Exploring the Gard means moving between Roman monuments, markets, rivers, wine villages and landscapes shaped by both Mediterranean and Cévennes influences.
