    Lovely walled medieval town where you can visit the fortified towers and walk the ramparts. The inner town is very quaint with interesting individual shops and very many bars and restaurants.
    I would imagine the town could be extremely busy in high season.

    We enjoyed our visit to the Fort. Whilst we'd agree that the signage could be better, the signed walk around it, including up the towers and along the walls, provided lovely views for the reasonable entry price of 6E. Nice to see the olive and almond trees too. We were given an information leaflet in English and some of the digital displays offer an English version. The Abbey and Gardens are completely separate, privately owned and cost 9E. We didn't visit them. There is toilet in the ticket office- just ask.

    We visited on a late morning. The man at the kiosk was initially brusque. He did, in his defence, openly admit he knew very little English. When assured that 2 of the 3 of us would be fine with the tour in French he warmed visibly, proferring a translation in English at the appropriate time for my partner.
    He then left us to explore the donjon on our own and meet for the tour shortly after. The donjon and it views were amazing. Coupled with the adjacent towers of the medieval garden it reminded somewhat of Lucca in Tuscany.
    After our descent we joined another family for the tour. The man we initially met conducted us and was clearly informed and passionate on the subject. You can tell the difference between a memorised script and personal recounting.
    The series of rooms that we were shown, coupled with the items in them showed a clear insight into the personal world of a once very powerful family of France.
    Overrall we enjoyed the visit, the Duché is quite small and one has to remember it is still a functioning home. But the tour did at points feel a little rushed. Some further information on certain works of art wasn't offered unless asked which proved a little disappointing considering the age of some of the pieces.
    If in Uzès I would still recommend visiting.

    A lovely building to wander round and lovely restaurant in the courtyard. Very quiet indeed and many parts not renovated or in use for anything. Remote location and therefore, with the long drive we had to make, not extensive enough for a day trip.

    An astonishingly long histroic bridge with 23 (?) arches, crossing the Rhône, making a stop a the town of
    Pont-Saint-Esprit worth the while. Do walk the quays downstream AND upstream to get the best views.

    We visited Sommieres off season (Sunday, February 13, 2022) and in the rain so it was pretty quiet. We did, however, appreciate the narrow streets and walk up to the chateau for a panoramic view of the old town and beyond. We will have to come back when the sun shines.

    This chateau is in poor repair and could do with some major attention. Might be worth visiting on Jour de la Patrimone but otherwise, go for the hike up to Villevielle.

    This is a beautiful church. It’s worth taking the time to sit and contemplate the artwork, including the painted ceilings. Each of the side chapels has its own beauty, as does the organ at the rear.

    Recommended by the tourist office and well worth the visit. No entry charge made it even better. The house itself has been totally refurbished in a simple but very elegant way. The inner courtyard makes for a cool, airy and very light atmosphere. Today it is used mainly for exhibitions but it still gives the feeling of an extremely palatial medieval home.

    Chanced upon this lovely courtyard down a back street.
    Was a private mansion, now a place to visit and contemplate in peace and quiet
