Local Attractions
The apartments building is located in the centre of the little village of Canaules between the Mediterranean coast & the Cevennes Mountains. It is just a 15 minute drive from Anduze ( the Gateway to the Cevennes ). Anduze is a thriving tourist town with a good selection of restaurants and cafés all along the main street. It really comes alive at weekends but is also worth a visit in midweek for the Wednesday night market or the Thursday morning traditional market.
Also 15 minutes away are the picturesque medieval towns of Sauve and Vezenobres. as well as Alés with it's great river beach (open during Summer) . Sommieres and Nimes are 30 minutes away and an hour’s drive will take you to Montpellier as well as the beaches of the Mediterranean.
The Cevennes National Park is a wonderful natural playground with river swimming, kayaking, horse riding, hiking, climbing and canyoning.
From Roman theatres and aqueducts to Medieval towns, there is a wealth of history and sight seeing locally.
Food & Drink : Nearby you will find many small villages & towns which have an abundance of restaurants and bars. From the local café The Troubadour Circus to the Michelin Award winning La Tour de Mole in nearby Sauve or the choice of good quality tourist restaurants in Anduze, there is a wide choice. The local markets are a wonderful place to buy the freshest of local fruit and vegetables, as well as the many farmer’s shacks which line the country roads. Wine is everywhere in the Languedoc and almost all local vineyards will welcome you for a wine tasting. Many of them do direct sales also so it is a great opportunity to pick up some good wine at great prices
Beach : Alés River Beach which is officially open from early June until the end of August is on the bank of the Gardon River & it has some excellent facilities including easy parking , shallow water swimming for kids , showers , a lifeguard , beach volleyball , boules , pedal boating , kayaking , water bubbles , a café bar & a Restaurant . You can also rent sun loungers, umbrella’s , kayaks , pedal boats etc … At night time during summer there is normally a DJ or other free musical entertainment throughout the entire week. Although it is not a substitute for the stunning beaches of the Med it is still a nice place to spend a sunny Summer's day. And it's just a short drive from your apartment.
