I had the great pleasure of visiting Un Siècle de Roulottes yesterday and I was overwhelmed by the array of roulottes and the knowledge of our guide. We spent an hour and half visiting and asking questions and learning. I highly recommend this open air museum.

Château de Manissy stands on the right Bank of the river Rhône; an historic wine estate dating back to the 17th century, whose iconic vineyards produce wines in the Tavel appellation. In the early 20th century, both the château and its vineyards were bequeathed to a religious order of monks. In 2003, winegrower Florian André took over management of the vineyards and has picked up where the Brothers left off, making classic southern Rhône wines. Florian’s mission is to find new ways to improve environmental performance and protect his vines and terroirs.

The pontifical Carthusian monastery of the Val-de-Bénédiction was founded in the 14th century by Pope Innocent VI. The frescoes of the Saint John Baptist's Chapel were painted by Matteo Giovanetti, who created the frescoes in Avignon Palace. The three cloisters, surrounded by forty cells and gardens, made it one of the largest Carthusian monstery in France.

Contemporary of the Colosseum in Rome, the amphitheater of Nîmes is the best preserved amphitheater in the Roman world. The audio-guided tour, available in 10 languages, lets visitors experience the gladiator shows and life in Roman times. The "gladiator's quarter" presents the weapons and techniques of gladiatorial fights.

Jardins de la Fontaine are really beautiful gardens. There are many water features, ponds and canals, as well as some remains from the Roman times, and there is a huge area you can wander around and enjoy and just relax. The garden was constructed sometime in the 17th century.

Enjoyed a few hours here in August sunshine. It caters for huge numbers of people but is absolutely vast with safe shallow waters and refreshments nearby. Car park is reasonable for what you are gaining access to, and every time you walk through the entry parting in the dunes it is like Holkham in Norfolk just with warmer and closer water!! Up to my neck in the Med with a huge shoal of small fish rolling with the gentle swell was just wonderful.
