The Region:  Uzès - Nîmes - Remoulins (Pont du Gard)

One of the warmest climatic regions of France - equally in spring, autumn and winter. The winds (Mistral and  Tramontane) do not blow here as much as in the Rhône-valley. It is a landscape of hills and valleys, full of historical sites,  in which the ‚Garrigue‘ (typical oak- and bush-woods) changes with vineyards, olive groves, fruit plantations, picturesque medieval villages and small picturesque towns.
