Ales
The Langeudoc-Roussillon region of France is a land of long mountain ridges, deep valleys and stunningly dramatic countryside. Among all this lies the city of Ales (Alès). Ales is the gateway to the Cevennes mountain range in the south of France and is the idyllic rural France you've always dreamed about. Located between Nimes and Mende, the city has a rich and colourful Roman heritage and is never overcrowded.
A city of Roman heritage with beautiful fountains, Ales has an adequate selection of shops as well as a theatre, cinema, cafes and restaurants. It also boasts a plethora of sport and leisure activities within easy reach in the wild and mountainous countryside a few kilometres away. Walking trails, cycling routes, fishing and canoeing centres as well as the more extreme sports of caving and white-water rafting (depending upon the season) are all offered within close proximity to this pleasant city. The summer bull fair attracts trade from all over the south of France.
Visitors to this area are only about 40km from the nearest airport and can stay in a wide range of accommodation, from budget to luxury while they explore the mountains, rivers and hillside hamlets of this beautiful and historical region.
