Provence Occitane, nestling at the crossroads of the southern Gard , is a real gem forhistory and heritage enthusiasts. With its ancient remains, medieval castles and hilltop villages, our region invites you to take a journey back in time, to the crossroads of civilisations. Here, every stone bears witness to the stories of the past, from the time of the Romans to the splendours of the Middle Ages, right up to a more contemporary era where tradition rubs shoulders with modernity.
As you explore, you’ll tread in the footsteps of a flourishing Gallo-Roman civilisation at theoppidum of Gaujac or the mythical Camp of Caesar at Laudun-l’Ardoise. Then you’ll be seduced by the quiet strength of the feudal castles, such as Montfaucon or Saint-Victor-la-Coste, perched on their rocky promontories, still keeping watch over the surrounding valleys.
But there’s more to the experience than meets the eye: in Provence Occitane, heritage is alive and well. The cobbled streets of Montclus, the Romanesque vaults ofAiguèze or the colourful markets of Barjac become scenes where the epics of yesteryear are re-enacted. As you travel through this authentic region, bathed in southern light and surrounded by unspoilt countryside, you’ll be enveloped in a unique atmosphere.
