The Gard department is the western counterpart to Provence on the other side of the Rhone. With a Mediterranean flair and a hilly world of garrigue, vineyards, olive groves and historic villages, ancient farms and country estates, the Romans already enjoyed themselves in this fertile region. The foothills of the Cevennes offer us ideal conditions for a fantastic cycling holiday, with plenty of rurality, cultural highlights and Mediterranean cuisine. Of the villages between Piemont cévenol and Pays d'Uzès that we will pass through on our 5-day cycling tour. The cultural highlights of our route include the detours to the Pont du Gard (World Heritage Site), the small town of Anduze as the gateway to the highlands of the Cévennes and with its famous Bambouseraie (largest bamboo grove outside Asia), the dry stone huts of Blandas, the beautiful historic villages of Sauve, Sommières, Vézénobres and of course the beautiful town of Uzès. Anyone who refers to the region as the "Tuscany of France" is neglecting the very special charm that this diverse area has to offer.
