Sommières

Little town in the Gard department of southern France where the Vidourle river runs through the centre, Sommières sits in deep wine country between Nîmes and Montpellier, with a café and restaurant scene that is well stocked for its size. Four protected historic monuments anchor the old town, including a Roman-era bridge known as the Pont Tibère, a medieval belfry, and a castle, with Natura 2000 habitat along the river adding a natural dimension to the surrounds.
