SURROUNDING YOU
Peace, atmosphere, people and landscapes
The Cévennen (UNESCO World Heritage Site) are among the most sparsely populated regions in France, a lonely mountain world with fantastic bathing rivers. NÎMES, the most Roman city outside of Italy, MONTPELLIER, the Paris of the south of France or AVIGNON with its imposing city wall and the Pope's Palace can be reached quickly. And if you are looking for secluded beaches on the Mediterranean Sea, take a day trip and find something in the foothills of the Camargue.
