Anduze
Anduze is south of Ales, in the Parc National de Cevennes, in the Gard department of the Massif central, Languedoc-Roussillon, next to the River Gardon d'Anduze.
It is a picturesque town, with narrow streets lined with medieval houses, opening onto open squares. The clocktower, dating from 1320 and part of the original defensive ramparts of the town (since destroyed) can still be seen, as can the original grain hall dating from the 15th century.
There is also a curious pagoda-fountain dating from the 17th century, and covered with brightly coloured tiles.
The history of the town is deeply interlinked with the story of protestants in the region, above all from the Wars of Religion, and this history is commemmorated in the Musee du Désert in the nearby village of Le Mas Soubeyran.
Other villages nearby and worth visiting include Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort, to the south in the Languedoc Plains, Sauve and Lassalle.
The bamboo garden at Prafrance is close by and worth a visit, and a little further north the caves at Grotte de Trabuc are a great way to escape the heat of the day.
