Gaujac is a tranquil village in the Gard Provencal, 20 minutes from Uzes and around 30 minutes from Nimes, Avignon, Orange, Chateauneuf du Pape, the Pont du Gard and more.
The village itself boasts a chateau, 2 wineries which welcome you for tastings, a Michelin listed restaurant and a bar/café. It has a weekly market where local cheeses, fruits vegetables and meat can be purchased. All of these are within 5 minutes walk of The Bijou. Just outside of the village there is a second gastronomic restaurant and more cafes.
Gaujac is surrounded by vineyards, orchards of apricots, peaches and olive trees.
Walkers are well catered for by a myriad of marked paths leading to the local villages or to Roman ruins. Within a couple of kilometers there is the possibility to do horse riding, canoeing, hot air ballooning and more.
The area is a paradise for wine lovers, Languedoc-Roussillon being the largest wine producing region of France. There are some excellent local wines, but also, Chateauneuf du Pape, Tavel and Lirac are a short drive away on the quiet and scenic roads.
Foodies will also be delighted by the specialities (and bio food) to be found at the many markets and farm shops. Uzes market, held twice a week is one of the most popular in the South of France.
It is also a great region for culture with music festivals, dance and art in many local villages as well as large events, for example, in Orange, Nimes and Montpellier. Crafts abound, with Saint Quentin La Poterie being the centre for ceramics. You can browse the boutiques and workshops, even have a short course to try your hand.
Close by are four of the most beautiful villages of France (Aigueze, Lussan, La Roque sur Ceze, Montclus). There is also the stunning Castillon du Gard, romantic setting of the channel four programme 'First dates hotel'.
The Roman heritage of the region is to be found all around. The Arenas and amphiteatres of Nimes and Orange are the best preserved in the world, but the most amazing sight is the Pont du Gard, an aqueduct built 2000 years ago to carry water from Uzes to Nimes. It is the second most photographed sight in France, exceeded only by the Eiffel tower. The light, firework and music spectacles set in the river valley, beneath the aqueduct are quite an experience.
For those wanting more strenuous pursuits, cycles can be hired in many places and there is kayaking on many local rivers.
For less physical activities, why not stay at the Bijou, swim in the pool, take the sun, enjoy the garden and spectacular views and maybe have a game of petanque or boules on our own petanque court in the shade of the 300 year old oak! Should you wish to enjoy a massage or a pedi/manicure, it can be arranged for you.
