If you are staying at any of our South of France villas a trip to the famous Pont du Gard, a spectacular feat of Roman engineering, is a must. It spans the valley north of Nimes, whose amphitheatre is still in use today. With its selection of villas Languedoc, and in particular the Gard, is a great location for a holiday. Part Provence, part Languedoc, much of the Gard is taken up by the Camargue, western Europe's largest river delta where the Rhône meets the sea. It is blessed with great natural diversity, home to unique breeds of white horses and black bulls and more than 400 species of bird including pink flamingos. The sandy soils here produce a refreshing rose wine; rice is grown in paddy fields and salt is still commercially produced in the salt marshes.
