Le Pont du Gard
This ancient aqueduct has witnessed twenty centuries! Take in the views from the top of this incredibly well-preserved masterpiece of ancient times.

Sète
As if set on the water, Sète will seduce you with its varied landscapes: wild natural spaces, the Thau lagoon, secret coves, sandy beaches, not forgetting the canal where nautical jousts unfold. Climb to the very top of Mont Saint-Clair and admire the 360° view. If you’re a fan of ‘Tomorrow Is Ours’, come and see the sets of your favourite series in Sète!

Uzès
It’s impossible to resist the medieval charm of Uzès! Lose yourself in the maze of narrow streets, climb to the top of the Tower and admire the panoramic view.

Nîmes
Nîmes is full of remarkably well-preserved archaeological treasures: the famous arena, of course (the best-preserved amphitheatre in the Roman world), but also the Temple of Diana (dating from the 1st century), the Tour Magne and the Maison Carré. Take a walk through history, stroll through the narrow streets and gardens and relax on the terraces! A bull-fighting town, the Nîmes féria is world famous.

Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer
At the heart of the Camargue natural park, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer combines all the beauties of the Camargue: the beauty of its landscape, its flora and fauna, and the beauty of its soul as the home of the gypsies and a major place of pilgrimage. Come and visit its manades (bull and horse farms), admire its guardians (Camargue knights) and its rich historical and cultural heritage!
