The Gardon Gorge is a nature reserve that runs between Nimes and Uzes for 20km. The Gardon river has been forging its way through the limestone rocks to create a deep canyon that is home to a wide array of wildlife and vegetation.

There are a number of walking trails through the gorge and the surrounding plateaux. A popular walk visits the cave of Saint Baume - torch recommended! You can also take a canoe down the river, and there are rock climbing routes and a Via Ferrata. Mountain biking is also allowed (but quite tricky routes) and of course, you can cool yourself off with a swim in one of the bathing areas of the river.
