Sommieres old town is interesting enough for walking around for a hour or two, then have lunch, then walk round the other way. That’s about it. Done it.
But Nimes, Uzes, the Pont du Gard and drifting down river in a canoe from Collias were all a lot more interesting for us.
Been there, done that too. The market in Uzes is one of the best around - with such a variety of things, from French and ethnic foods to local textiles, lavender, baskets, Lagioule knives, local Provencal pottery and there are some great choices of restaurant.
Collias has a nice site - Le Barralet, riverside, with shady pitches, a pebble beach, water deep enough to canoe, and some rapids if the water level is right. The Pont du Gard can be canoed up to if the water level is OK but other times it may be too fast or too low so there is too much carrying. Nimes - well we had one of our best trips there when we took David's 90 year old mum to 'the South of France please' for her first holiday 'Abroad. We had such a fantastic holiday visiting Nimes, seeing all the Roman sites and watching them set up for Aida, the Ardeche seeing the gorge and the Pont d'Arc, having lunch in a favourite restaurant in Vallon, then down to Avignon. Avignon (she made me photoshop her two sticks out of a photo at the Palace du Papes, St Remy de Provence on market day, where she was serenaded by two street musicians who sang Happy Birthday, and into the Camargue where we saw a white Camargue horse giving birth. Then on to the Med to a Spa hotel where we were spoiled, saw a beautiful sunset and the following morning she dipped her toes in the Med. Beautiful memories. The diary of that holiday was one of her most treasured possessions and shown to every visitor, or in her latter years every member of the nursing and medical professions she met.
