Sernhac.

Sernhac lies among vineyards and garrigue scrubland in the Gard, a short distance from the Pont du Gard. At its centre, stone houses cluster around narrow lanes that still follow their old layout. Underground, two sections of the Roman aqueduct that once carried water to Nîmes survive near the village — the Fontaine de Pignan and the Fontaine de la Bruyère — traces of the same engineering behind the Pont du Gard itself. Vineyards ring the settlement, part of the Côtes du Rhône growing area, and several estates offer wine tastings. A market brings in cheese and olive oil from the surrounding farms. Paths through the vines and scrubland link Sernhac to neighbouring villages, following old farm tracks. The village is quiet for most of the year, with more activity in September, when the grape harvest draws pickers into the vineyards.
