Situated between Nimes and Montpellier, Calvisson is an exceptional site close to both mountains and the sea. Within a short walk of the medieval heart of the village there are a number of small cafés and restaurants, a supermarket and tabac, bakers, a butcher, greengrocers, a patisserie, flower shops and hairdressers and beauty salons and a fabulous wine cave! For the more sporty there are outdoor tennis courts, an outdoor public swimming pool and cycle hire facilities.
Around and about there is a list of attractions within an hour in all directions, such as the magnificent once Papal City of Avignon; the lovely Duchy Town of Uzès with its honey-coloured stone buildings and its famous Saturday morning market; the majestic 2000 year old Pont du Gard, one of the most visited tourist sites in France; Arles, the celebrated Provençal town with its artistic connections to Van Gogh and Gaugin; and Chateauneuf-du-Pape, home of the exceptional Cotes du Rhone wine.
