Many places of natural beauty and historical interest lie within a walk from the Mas which is set within excellent walking country. Within an easy drive of the Mas is a wealth of history and culture as well as magnificent scenery and good wines. We offer a  few suggestions for outings, please click on blue for illustrations.

 Sauve,our local village is beautiful. Set by the river it is unspoilt and as genuine an old village as you'll find. With bars and restaurants, shops, boulangerie and post office, it's a short walk by vineyards and riverside from your gite. Lots of local artists and "characters". 

Avignon, Arles, Uzes. The list of famous cities and towns seems endless. Papal palaces, castles, well-known vineyards, timeless street-markets and ancient houses lie round every corner. 

Pont du Gard. Probably the most spectacular Roman construction in the world. The giant via and aqueduct spans the Gardon - absolutely spectacular. From here it's a short run to Avignon
. 
The Viaduct at MILLAU It's a magnificent 1 1/2 hour drive to the highest road bridge in the world. 

Two man made wonders separated by 2000 years of technology. 

Nimes has a Roman Arena and temples,( one of the best preserved in the world) winding pedestrianised backstreets with charming boutiques and pavement cafes leading off from wide boulevards. The fine Roman arena once featured Christians versus crocodiles, nowadays it houses bull-fights and jazz festivals. Nimes has some of the best shopping facilities in France, with enormous shopping malls on the outskirts, if you fancy a spree. 

The Cévennes mountains, just close by, provide fantastic walking and touring country. Old hamlets and villages cling to terraced valleys set amongst gorges and streams. Wildlife is abundant and unspoiled. Even rare Griffon Vultures and Golden Eagles can be seen soaring above this natural paradise. Several superb caves to explore. Rivers to swim in and canoe on. And unique in Europe, a giant bamboo jungle accessed by old steam train. Discover its beauty and peace for yourself. 

Camargue and Aigues-Mortes,St.Maries-de-la.Mer. The world famous Camargue national park with its wild-life, white horses, flamingos and gipsy festivals offers the visitor just about everything, especially fine beaches. Visit Aigues-Mortes, a 12th century walled crusader town on the salt marshes and the famous church, and perhaps then head for the beaches. 

The Beach - near La Grande Motte or at Espigette on the Camargue, sand-dunes give way to a clean warm Mediterranean. Great natural beaches nearby. We can advise you of the best. 

Golf and other sport - there are eight golf courses within easy reach of Sauve. The nearest two at Nîmes are only 20 mins away. Lots of good river canoeing ,go-karting, rock climbing, horse riding, all available locally. 

Markets - many excellent traditional local markets offering local delicacies, Provencal prints, fresh vegitables and Mediterranaen fish (a fresh tuna steak?or perhaps sardines). We can advise of times and places.
