The Gard is a department that offers incredible sites. Natural sites such as the Gardon gorges, the Cirque de Navacelles or the Gard Camargue, but also towns and villages with a remarkable architectural heritage, such as the arenas of Nîmes, the abbey church of Saint-Gilles, on the way to Saint- Jacques-de-Compostelle, and the famous Pont du Gard.
The Gard is also a particularly gourmet region. We know olive oil and Camargue rice, black truffle and fougasseyou can also taste sweet onion from the Cévennes, of bull meat and wines quality. At the bend of the streets of Nîmes and the alleys of the small villages of the Gard, restaurants offer a kitchen which gives pride of place to local products and smells good Mediterranean flavors.
