At Sernhac, south of Remoulins and Saint Bonnet du Gard, there are two tunnels that flank a small nice valley. The Perrotte and Cantarelles tunnels.

A beautiful circuit in the Gard countryside allowing you to discover the town of Anduze from the rock dominating it.

Here, the thyme is very prevalent, allowing you to breathe air much more perfumed than the one in our cities.

Amid hills and valleys, a bull ranch (manade) under the pine trees, abandoned quarries, and quaint villages with narrow, shady lanes. A wonderful glimpse of the Gard.
