Magnificent medieval village to see

Lens limestone was primarily reserved for intricately decorated works, as its composition allows for fine and in-depth work. It was shipped to Arles or Beaucaire before being exported to construction sites all around the Mediterranean. But in Nîmes, it was of course used for all the ornamentation of the arenas, the Maison Carrée, and the Temple of Diana. https://echosdeleinsgardonnenque.fr/en-visite-aux-carrieres-romaines/

Magnificent Roman quarry, difficult to access but worth the effort. We can see the cutting of certain stone blocks as well as elements sculpted on site (pillars) that have not been moved.

A beautiful old Roman quarry at the end of a small path.

Attention! The stretch between Le Tavernes and Vézénobres is absolutely not suitable for touring bikes! Steep sections with large stones or slopes with fine gravel, almost invisible overgrown paths, over an old railway bridge with "no access". We did it with a touring bike🫣

It’s best to come from the east (hard surface road).

Nice little river. Suitable for bathing. At least here at the campsite, where we were then lucky enough to get a place on the river!

Definitely take the small detour directly through the village. There are some surprises to discover here that you would never have guessed.
