Sightseeing
It's a bit of a drive but it's worth it for the beautiful scenery. There is a beautiful walk around the edge of the reservoir, a nice man-made beach to swim from, and a café.

A beautiful Roman town - the old royal mint. Best day to go is Saturday for the market - buy local food in the morning, have lunch in the sun in the town square and then shop in the boutiques. Lovely.

A walled medieval village on a hill - perfectly postcard French. Lovely for a little walk and to imagine you’re in the film ‘Chocolat’. There is a nice restaurant next to the Boules square.

A village on the hill, just on the other side of the bridge, going towards Rochegude. Nothing really happens there but it's nice to walk around and the view over the valley is stunning at sunset.

A stunning village, split across two 'quartiers' - one with a gorgeous church, one with a fort. Several lovely restaurant/cafés & incredible views across the Cevennes.

The Chauvet Cave is one of the most famous prehistoric rock art sites in the world. With one exception, all of the cave art paintings have been dated between 30,000 & 33,000 years ago. This museum is a perfect replica of the cave, and well-worth a visit. It's probably a good idea to book in advance.

Not exactly a restaurant...a pizza van with a wood-fired oven inside. If you fancy a takeaway then Albert's pizzas are delicious. *Please note, the spot on map isn't accurate - he's on the roundabout!

Beautiful Italian food within an ancient vaulted building that is also an antique shop. You can also eat outside on the pretty terrace, under the vines. 3 courses with wine, for 2, for around €80.

A restoration project for a lovely Belgian couple, this bar and restaurant (and eventually hotel) is a nice spot for a beer or to eat. The set menu at lunchtime is particularly good.

Villages don't come much prettier than Banne, and this smart Auberge is a lovely place to eat. It's more expensive than most local restaurants but the food is great. Also a nice place to stop for a coffee or beer as their terrace is very pretty, and the views are stunning.
