Relaxation and wellness in La Roque sur Cèze
Slow Village Provence Occitanie is located by the Cèze river, a famous tributary of the Gardon river. Consequently, you can both swim in the waters of the river and bask on the natural pebble beaches. A little higher up, around one hundred metres from the campsite, the Sautadet waterfalls are on offer to you! These take the form of a series of waterfalls, rapids and giant pools, being one of the loveliest natural tourist sites in the Gard. Although swimming is prohibited in the rapids and pools, due to the risks, you can however swim upstream and downstream of this site, highly sought-after by the intrigued.
After an invigorating day in the great outdoors, go to the Slow Market to stock up on essentials, regional specialities and fresh bread and sweetbreads and buns for breakfast. Come the evening, you can eat as a family under the arbours on the terrace or within the cosy indoor section of the restaurant which serves healthy, local and quality cuisine from the South, with fresh, seasonal produce, accompanied by excellent wines…
