Camping Le Pradal

Looking for something strong to sip on? There’s a vineyard and winery on the edge of Attuech (15 minutes’ drive) with drinks originating from the clay-limestone soil. You won’t need to use a car at all on the Steam train of Cevennes (around 20 minutes’ walk), which runs between Anduze and Saint-Jean du Gard, plunging straight into a tunnel longer than 800 metres. There are lots of different views around, from the stalactites and crevices of the Caves of Trabuc (15 minutes’ drive) or the abandoned coal mines of Mine Témoin (20 minutes) to the Roman amphitheatre of Nîmes (45 minutes) and the UNESCO-listed Roman aqueduct of the Pont du Gard (an hour). There’s plenty of history to uncover among those sites, but if you want even more, head to the Musée du Désert (10 minutes) about Protestantism in the local area, Préhistorama (35 minutes) about prehistoric times ,or the Haribo Candy Museum (50 minutes). Aqua Forest (five minutes) has zipwires and toboggans for active families.
