Be sure to have plenty of gas in the tank, because Nîmes is well worth a detour. Situated 55 miles from Valgorge, it has some fantastic attractions, such as Maison Carree and Nîmes Museum of Natural History and Prehistory. Nothing says living large like a road trip, so keep on driving to Avignon. It’s 55 miles away and also has a few appealing sights, such as Palais des Papes and Place de l’Horloge.
