Things to do and see

Unlike larger towns and coastal resorts of southern France, Anduze and Ales have retained their character and charm. In Ales, there is a daily covered market and on Mondays's, an open air market spills out into the sourrounding streets. There are free music shows every evening in summer months and many festivals throught the year. In early May the local Feria turns Ales into a 4 day party, with bull-fighting in the local Arena and parades and dancing in the streets. The ever popular provencal market in Uzes on a Saturday morning is a must with its pretty squares filled with artisans stalls. Uzes and Vezenobres are just two of many medieval towns and villages in the Cevennes foothills. Stretching from the moutians and forest of the Cevennes to the salt marshes of the Camargue, the Gard offers a huge variety of attractions. Nimes boasts the only fully preserved Roman temple of the ancient world, the Maison Carree and the city centre feature a number of interesting museums/shops

The famous Roman amphitheatre, Les Arenes, is host to excellent live concerts in the summer months but advance booking is essential.

For lovers of the great outdoors there are endless opportunities for cycling, hiking, pony trekking, fishing and canoeing. The nearest golf courses are Nimes Vacquerolles, a good 18 hole course and Uzes, a pretty testing 9 hope course.
