Anywhere Campers NîmesNîmesView map
Hiring a motorhome in Nîmes starts your trip in a Roman city that is still standing: the arena, the Maison Carrée and the Tour Magne are just a few streets from the road. In under an hour you reach the Pont du Gard, the lanes of Uzès, the rice fields and bull ranches of the Camargue or, beyond Alès, the first slopes of the Cévennes. Our partner Anywhere Campers rents out two-seat campervans as well as family over-cab motorhomes sleeping six.
Between garrigue scrubland, the Costières vineyards and the Vistre plain, Nîmes sits at a crossroads: the Rhône valley to the east, Languedoc to the west and the Massif Central to the north.

- Collias
- Uzès
- Lussan
- La Roque-sur-Cèze
- Goudargues
- Nîmes
The Pont du Gard, a three-tier Roman aqueduct listed as a World Heritage Site, opens the loop; just upstream, Collias is the base for canoe trips through the Gardon Gorges. Uzès, the first duchy of France, comes alive on Saturdays around the Place aux Herbes. You then head to Lussan, a fortified village on its hilltop, the Sautadet waterfalls at La Roque-sur-Cèze, where swimming is forbidden, and Goudargues, set along its canal.

Through the Costières vineyards, Saint-Gilles and the carved portal of its abbey church lead to Arles, its arena, its Roman theatre and the Alyscamps necropolis. The road along the Étang de Vaccarès then crosses the delta to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, among flamingos, rice fields and white horses. On the way back, Tarascon and Beaucaire face each other across the Rhône, each guarded by its castle. The Digue à la Mer sea dyke is for walkers and cyclists only.

After Ispagnac, the Tarn canyon strings together Sainte-Enimie, La Malène and the Cirque des Baumes, before climbing the Jonte Gorges, where vultures soar, to Meyrueis. Narrow roads and overhanging rock: a compact vehicle is a must.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Nîmes?
Best time
April to June, then September
April to June, September
highs 19 to 29 °C, lows 9 to 17 °C
The best months to drive from Nîmes: the garrigue is in bloom, the Gardon is good for canoeing from May and traffic still flows easily in the Tarn Gorges before the holidays. June, with thirteen hours of sunshine a day, already heralds the great heat. September brings back mild days, the grape harvest in the Costières and a quieter Camargue.
High season
High summer
July to August
highs 32 °C, lows 20 °C
With average highs of 32 °C, Nîmes is one of the hottest cities in France, and July gets almost no rain. Visit the arena and the Pont du Gard early in the morning, head up to sleep in the cool on the slopes of Mont Lozère and pack mosquito repellent for the Camargue. Campsites in the Uzège and the gorges are fully booked.
October and November
October to November
highs 15 to 21 °C, lows 7 to 12 °C
October brings the most rain of the year, 115 mm on average, with November close behind: the rain falls in a few intense storms rather than steady showers. Between two spells of bad weather, the light is beautiful on the russet vines of the Uzège, and the Camargue lagoons welcome migrating birds in renewed calm.
Winter
December to March
December to March
highs 11 to 16 °C, lows 4 to 6 °C
A short, bright winter, with seven to nine hours of sunshine a day, but chilly nights that call for a heated vehicle. It is the right season to discover Nîmes, Arles or Uzès without the crowds. On Mont Lozère, snow sometimes closes the roads: save the Cévennes for spring and choose campsites open all year.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
The Écusson on foot, the vehicle on the outskirts
The arena, the Maison Carrée and the Jardins de la Fontaine lie in or around the Écusson, the largely pedestrianised historic centre, along busy boulevards. The underground car parks in the centre do not accept high vehicles: leave the motorhome in an outer car park or at the campsite, then reach the centre by bus or on foot.
The Pentecost and Grape Harvest ferias
Twice a year, the feria transforms Nîmes: over the Pentecost weekend, then in September for the Feria des Vendanges, huge crowds fill the centre, the bodegas and the area around the arena. Closed streets, slow traffic and fully booked accommodation: if your departure falls on these days, collect the vehicle early and leave town without delay.
Free expressway to Alès, tolls towards the Rhône
For the Cévennes, the RN106 links Nîmes to Alès as a toll-free expressway. The A9, a toll motorway, runs to Montpellier in the west and to Orange in the north-east, where it joins the A7; the A54 branches off towards Arles and the Camargue. At toll plazas, the price class depends on the vehicle's height, and a motorhome usually pays more than a car.
Storms and cadereaux
Nîmes still remembers the flood of October 1988, when the cadereaux, the dry ravines running down from the hills, swept through the city. Under an orange or red rain-and-flood warning, never cross a floodable road, keep away from the Gardon rivers and from campsites in flood zones, and follow Météo-France instructions.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Nîmes
Where do I pick up a motorhome in Nîmes?
Pick-up is at the Nîmes depot of Anywhere Campers, our only partner company starting from the city. The exact address and handover time slot are sent with your booking confirmation. Allow time for the vehicle walkthrough and the check-in inspection, then do your shopping on the outskirts before hitting the roads of the Gard.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Nîmes?
Four things set the price: the time of year, the length of hire, the chosen model and any return to another city, with summer remaining the busiest season. To get the exact rate, mandatory fees included, run a search on your own dates: the offers shown can be booked immediately, with no quote to wait for.
Which motorhome should I choose from Nîmes?
For two, the Van for 2 goes anywhere, from the lanes of Uzès to the Tarn Gorges. A family of four fits in the Carado T-447, a family of five in the Sunlight T 68 or the Adria Matrix M670SL, and the Sunlight A70 takes up to six travellers. Every size comes with an automatic gearbox, several also with a manual one.
Can I visit the Pont du Gard by motorhome?
Easily: the site, about twenty kilometres north-east of Nîmes, has paid car parks open to motorhomes on both banks. Arrive early in summer, before the heat and the coach groups. For the night, the nearby campsites of Remoulins, Collias or Vers-Pont-du-Gard let you come back to see the aqueduct at sunset.
Can I end the trip in Avignon or Montpellier?
Avignon, 38 km as the crow flies, and Montpellier, 46 km away, are also served by our rental partners, as are Marseille, Aix-en-Provence and Béziers. Enter the drop-off city in the search form: you will then see the vehicles available for that trip, with any one-way fee included in the price. A crossing of the Camargue to Marseille is well suited to it.

The two service providers made me pay for the insurance for the car. And when I request a refund for one of them, I no longer get a response. I will travel by motorhome again, but certainly not with CoolDrive, nor with my friends.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Nîmes
What licence do I need to drive a van or motorhome hired in Nîmes?
Most rental campervans and motorhomes can be driven with a category B licence, valid up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight. A driver holding a non-European licence may also need to show an international driving permit or an official translation. Each offer states the driver's minimum age and the number of years of driving required.
How do I get to Nîmes by train or plane?
Nîmes has two stations: Nîmes-Centre, a short walk from the Écusson, and Nîmes-Pont-du-Gard, a high-speed TGV station in Manduel, about ten kilometres south-east, linked to the centre by regional trains and buses. Nîmes-Garons airport has only a few routes, often seasonal; Montpellier and Marseille airports offer many more flights.
Where can I spend the night with a motorhome in the Gard?
Campsites and service areas are plentiful in the Gard: around the Pont du Gard and Uzès, in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, which sets aside areas for motorhomes, and along the Tarn. In the Camargue, overnight parking on beaches and by the lagoons is regulated and often banned; Costières wine estates that welcome motorhome travellers offer an alternative.
Do I need a Crit'Air sticker to drive in the Gard?
During pollution peaks, the prefecture can restrict traffic to the least polluting vehicles, identified by their Crit'Air sticker. The rules on low-emission zones keep changing in France: before you leave, check those in force in Nîmes and make sure with the rental company that the vehicle carries its sticker.
When should I book a motorhome in Nîmes?
Only one partner company operates in Nîmes: for July, August and the long May weekends, book several months before departure. In April, June or September, a month ahead usually leaves a good choice. The most popular models, such as the two-seat van or the automatic versions, go first: widening your dates or vehicle size opens up other options.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Nîmes
Nîmes brings together on its doorstep three landscapes that could not be more different: the ancient Provence of the Pont du Gard, Arles and its own arena; the flat Camargue delta, with its lagoons and bull ranches; then, north of Alès, the granite of Mont Lozère and the limestone cliffs of the Tarn Gorges. Distances stay short: you spend more time at markets, swimming and sightseeing than behind the wheel.
Anywhere Campers rents vehicles there for every crew, from couples to groups of six, with or without an automatic gearbox. The city is served by the TGV and the A9 motorway, and Avignon, Montpellier, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence or Béziers, also served by our rental partners, make it possible to return the vehicle somewhere other than Nîmes. The climate is most pleasant from April to September, and the mild, sunny winter suits city visits.
