This guide allows you to explore the cities of Gard to better understand the heritage of this department. The author takes us by the hand to discover 20 Gard towns of character. A great way to learn more about the architecture and history of this region, from the unmissable arenas of Nîmes to more anonymous cities. For example, Saint-Hippolyte-du-Gard, nestled against the Cévennes mountains, is a fortified city following the clashes between Protestants and Catholics in the 17th century.
