An exceptional region for Tourism
The village of Collias lies in the magnificent region of the ‘Gorges du Gardon’, a landmark that attracts tourists from all over Europe. It has multiple and diversified assets: in summer enjoy swimming in the cool water of the river ‘Gardon’ or get suntanned on the open beaches with their beautiful stones of karstic cliffs, kayak down to the overwhelming historic ‘Pont du Gard’ where you will be stunned by an unequalled view. Go hiking to discover the charming little corners hidden by the capriciously meandering course of the Gardon or admire the surprisingly abundant vegetation of the region in a contemplative peregrination.
Collias is surrounded by charming little towns and villages: Uzès, France’s last duchy, with it’s magnificent castle and the ‘Place aux Herbes’, meeting point for a nice meal or drink or a saunter over to the rich and variegated Saturday morning market and its attractive town centre with its unique medieval constructions, is one of the must-sees. Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie is a reference for a unique form of art: the art of creating all kinds of different decorations, using noble materials, clay and all the colours of the rainbow, to obtain wonderful vases, creative and playful crockery, decorative items and many more. Numerous other villages invite you to visit their wine cellars and taste their wines and other regional products, which are the results of a sublime marriage of water, soil and sun.
The location of Collias is really exceptional: only 30 minutes from Avignon, the city of the Popes, host of France’s most important theatre festival, 20 minutes from the city of Nimes with it’s Roman arena and numerous other tourist attractions and 50 minutes from Montpellier, favourite place to meet the Mediterranean Sea with its nice sand beaches and its welcoming tepid water.
The Biocentric Centre “Terre Nourricière” (that means “Nourishing Earth”) is located at the foot of the village of Collias at a privileged site. It hosts groups who wish to make a bit of way together in a large panoply of disciplines of personal and human development or groups or families who wish to ‘find themselves’ with the help of the natural vitalizing power of this exceptional place. All this through a large spectrum of sport, tourist and leisure time activities and with the commodity of an easy access to exquisite restaurants where you can savour the typical traditional cuisine of the Region.
