NIMES (35 km). Gateway to the Camargue, Nimes is an ancient Roman town. Les Arènes, La maison carré are just two examples of the architecture and history to discover here. As in every city, there are extensive shopping facilities and a delightful centre given over entirely to pedestrians. There is a market with street theatre and music every Thursday evening. There is also a large hospital with an outpatients department.
AVIGNON (35 km). Le Palais des Papes, Le pont d’Avignon, La place de l’Horloge, to name but a few of the points of interest dating back to the time when Avignon was the papal capital. There is a pedestrian shopping area in the centre of the town, which is worth a visit too. The famous theatre festival of Avignon fills every available theatre, garage and street corner with actors, clowns and musicians during the second half of July.
ALÈS (35 km). Gateway to the Cevennes Mountains with a very comprehensive shopping centre and weekly market.

Feedback for our stay on this property from 29th June to 4th July 2009
Great property in good location. Mike fairbairn was friendly and made us feel welcome and was also very informative about what to see. The property was in a quiet location and was convenient to see all of the sites.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property.
