The Gard region combines natural sites, Roman heritage, and amusement parks within a compact area. From Camping Les Amandiers, most day trips are less than an hour’s drive away.
The Bambouseraie in Cévennes, located in Générargues, is home to over 1,000 varieties of bamboo and plants across 14 hectares. Largely shaded, it’s a pleasant visit even in the middle of summer.
The Seaquarium of Grau-du-Roi showcases fish and marine animals in a child-friendly exhibit. The walk under the sharks remains the highlight of the visit.
To cool off, La Bouscarasse is a family water park nestled in the heart of a forest, featuring pools supervised by lifeguards, water paths, a lazy river, and a whirlpool.
The Salamandre Cave, in Méjannes-le-Clap, offers a constant temperature and unique activities: rappelling, aeroplume (zip-line), behind-the-scenes exploration, and a treasure river.
Finally, the Haribo Candy Museum offers workshops and interactive games exploring the brand’s history. Self-guided or guided tours are available by reservation.
