La Trouvaille is in the small, picturesque village of Sanilhac, which is 20 km north of Nîmes and 35 km west of Avignon. The village has two restaurants, a wine co-op, a boulangerie/tea room with the best bread one will ever eat, all within a short walk. A large supermarket is less than 10 minutes away.

It is 10 minute drive to the fairly large, wonderfully artsy village of Uzès, which has all shops and services, a twice-weekly open market and plentiful festivals and events year-round. 

It is a 15 minute drive to the Pont du Gard, and if you don't feel like driving anywhere, there are gorgeous hiking trails to the Gardon river valley, within a 5 minute walk of the front door.  In fact, the hiking trails out of Sanilhac are quite extensive, so that one could hike to the next village over, Collias, or even, for the more hardy, the Pont du Gard and beyond.

Collias has kayak rentals etc. for river sports and there are wonderful caverns, mountains (Cevennes), and a famous Bamboo Garden all within a 30 minute drive.  For the ambitious, Barcelona and Genoa are about 3-4 hours on the highways.

Sanilhac is located 20 kilometers north of Nîmes, seven kilometers south of Uzès, in the Gard. It is easily accessed from the TGV stations in either Nîmes or Avignon. Sanilhac is close to a multitude of things to see and do. It is an hour away from the Mediterranean, close to the Cevennes Mountains, and cities like Montpellier, Arles, Avignon, and others.
