On this coastline you can also take advantage of the lovely seaside resorts.

Explore the listed and protected sites of Gard. Here, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Indeed, the department boasts some 500 monuments! But among them, the one you absolutely must visit is the local ancient masterpiece, that world-famous piece of human genius, the Pont du Gard.

From this bridge, admire the magnificent views over the Gardon Gorges and the enormous biodiversity that recently received international recognition as a World Biosphere Reserve, or enjoy a breath of fresh air in the natural environment of the Causses and Cévennes region.
 

The variety of settings available means you’ll have plenty of choice when it comes to activities. You may opt for watersports, such as swimming or kayaking in the sea, canoeing or canyoning in the rivers and waterways, or even water hiking…
