Beaucaire

This heritage-dense small town on the Rhône in southern France's Gard department, Beaucaire has a walkable centre with many listed buildings, a good spread of cafés and restaurants for its size, and several historic churches. The town sits within a wider region ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites, and two Natura 2000 protected natural areas — the Nîmes coastal plain and the lower Rhône — lie within its territory.
