Gard is part of the Languedoc-Roussillon region and has a population of about 700,000 inhabitants. This department covers 5,800 km2, including 3,800 km2 of natural areas. Its prefecture, the most emblematic municipality, is Nîmes, where 147,000 people live. Would you like to inhale the sea air every morning and sunbathe on your balcony? Plenty of Gard holiday rentals are available at Le Grau-du-Roi, for example. Holiday lettings with rustic or contemporary decorations are also available in the centre of Nîmes, Alès and Beaucaire, and the attractiveness of the Gard lies partly in the variety of its landscapes and relief. Alternatively, book a holiday letting in Aigues Mortes, which is 54 km away and explore the entire region. Rice fields, ponds and sandy coastlines still fascinate tourists in the south of the department, in the famous Camargue. In the northeast reigns the scrubland, this vegetation is similar to the scrub that is found in Corsica. The altitude climbs to the northwest of the Gard, with the Cévennes mountain range. Its national park is home to a very rich fauna and flora, where more than 2,400 animal species are listed. Wonder is at its height for visitors to the Causses! They have the opportunity to admire the megalith dolmens that can reach up to 4.50 metres in height.

The Gard coast is characterised by its dynamism. Young people particularly appreciate the many water sports activities on offer. If you get accommodation in Gard to rent near the backcountry, you can also enjoy the Bouscarasse water park near Uzès. The variety of the relief offers landscapes as attractive as they are atypical. There is nothing better than a walk to see them and capture them in pictures. The Gorges du Gardon, the Ermitage de Collias and the Vallée de l'Eure in Uzes...there are many marked trails in the Gard. Le Pélardon is a famous Cévennes cheese that you can find in some local markets. It is highlighted during the Printemps du Pélardon, held every year in Vigan. Strawberries from Nîmes are other commendable culinary specialities, which are highly praised well beyond the city of the Antonins by delicatessens and restaurants alike.

A wide choice of holiday rentals in Gard are available near this ancient building.

2. The Pont du Gard

The Roman aqueduct is 275 metres long and has 3 floors. Its function was to bring water from Uzès to Nîmes, which in the past was called Nemaususus. This ancient work is one of the most joyful of ancient architecture in France. If you have a Sete holiday rental, you can take the one-hour drive to explore the history of the area.

3. The Seaquarium

The Grau-du-Roi Seaquarium is a fun and exotic journey through the seas and oceans of the world. The zebra shark, guitar ray and loggerhead turtle are among the must-see fish in various aquariums. Its teams make it a point of honour to raise visitors' awareness of the protection of many species.

4. The Salamander Cave

This unique site has only been accessible to the general public for a few years. Only speleologists could actually enter and contemplate its riches before 2012. The abseiling down the natural well is a unique experience to experience during a visit to this cave located in Saint-Privat de Champclos. Book your holiday rental in Gard today to try out the unique experience.
