Department in the South of France: Gard

At the gates of Provence, just after the Avignon bridge, its landscapes and villages offer the charm and authenticity of Provence with fields of lavender and vines as far as the eye can see. Its character remains unique, however, and delights both history buffs, culture enthusiasts and nature lovers.

You will discover very beautiful tourist sites (Barjac, the Duchy of Uzès, Villeneuve les Avignon, the Pont du Gard) and some of its villages are among the Most Beautiful Villages of France. Thanks to a climate conducive to viticulture, you can also discover renowned vineyards (Chusclan, Tavel, Lirac, etc.).

Our favourite villages in the Gard

Villeneuve-lès-Avignon

Dominated by the imposing Fort Saint-André, this charming medieval city faces Avignon, from which it can admire the Palais des Papes at all times, and enjoys a magnificent natural panorama of Mont Ventoux and the Alpilles. A city with an exceptional historical heritage and where it is good to stroll.

Uzès

Between the peaks of the Cévennes and the beaches of the Mediterranean, in the department of Gard, Uzès is a city of art and lively history, surrounded by vineyards, which will delight visitors in search of old stones thanks to its historical heritage, and those for whom the art of living is not an empty word!

Nîmes

Nîmes is actually a city in the Occitanie region of southern France, not a village. It's renowned for its well-preserved Roman monuments, including the Arena of Nîmes, a Roman amphitheater still used today for events like bullfighting and concerts. The Maison Carrée is a beautifully preserved Roman temple, and the nearby Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge, all testaments to Nîmes' rich history.

Montaren-et-Saint-Médiers

A stone's throw from Uzès, Montaren-et-Saint-Médiers is the result of two municipalities, Montaren and Saint-Médiers, which merged in 1815. A village where life is good and which has preserved vestiges of the past. For lovers of calm, light and scrubland.
