Villages of the Gard Provençal

By Linda Tancs

The Gard Provençal in southern France is filled with natural attractions.  For instance, La Roque-sur-Cèze was built on a rock peak overlooking the Cèze. Dominated by the traces of the former castle and its chapel, the village has sloping cobbled streets offering  breathtaking view of the Cascades du Sautadet.  Nearby, at a bend in the Cèze River, is the medieval village of Montclus, nestled between wooded hills, lavender fields and vineyards.  From mid-June to early August the lavender prairies stretch as far as the eye can see.  What are you waiting for?
