Saint Victor la Coste & La Sabranenque, Part IV.
If you bring a rental car with you to Saint Victor la Coste you will find plenty to see in the afternoon. Uzès is a 30 minute drive to the southwest and is a lovely shopping town. Orange is a short drive to the northeast. Head south to Castillion du Gard for a café overlooking the French countryside.
No car? Don’t worry; you can still see plenty of the local area. If you like to hike, there is a wine cooperative within walking distance of Saint Victor la Coste as well as numerous other wineries. Once a week Ginou (Henri Gignoux, the director of La Sabranenque) drives into Bagnols-sur-Cèze, a pretty town with an Internet café, ATM machines, and a supermarché. On Saturday, La Sabranenque takes all the volunteers on a full day sight seeing excursion. We went to Arles.
