Montfrin itself is a small riverside town overlooked by a chateau. In town you will find a selection of shops and restaurants. This is a particularly good location, as it is within easy driving distance of Avignon, Nimes, and the Pont du Gard. The Pont du Gard [located near Remoulins] is constructed of three tiers of arches to carry fresh water over the river Gard. Nimes is a larger city with all of the conveniences as well as many sights. Here you can visit many Roman remains, including a wonderfully preserved amphitheatre [still in use for bullfighting and concerts today], the Maison Carree temple, the 18th century Jardins de la Fontaine, and Saint Castor cathedral. Finally, Avignon is ringed by a medieval wall, inside of which you will find narrow, winding streets and ancient buildings filled with shops and restaurants. Scattered around Avignon are countless villages, each charming in its own way. Try the olives, truffles, lamb, and creme brulee, all specialties of the area. This is the true Provence experience, one of the most authentic and genuinely regional areas in France. nNimes: 30 km nArles: 29 km nAvignon: 22 km nPont du Gard: 9 km nShops, grocery, restaurant: 1.5 km n nAvailable Amenities: Private swimming pool, telephone [incoming calls only], TV, 4 hours cleaning at the end of each week, barbecue, washing machine, ironing board. nExtra Services: The following are listed as an aid for trip planning, the services and prices are approximate and cannot be guaranteed by Rentvillas.
