Who am I?

Laurent, born in Nîmes in the last century. As a child, I grew up in the South of France, between the Cévennes and the Camargue, Provence and Occitania. Travelling and meeting other people have shaped my life. Alongside my activities as a musician-actor-producer, I have perfected my knowledge of this region by working as a holiday advisor-guide in various tourist offices in and around the Gard. I'm always sensitive to sustainable development and the meaning given to my actions. 

 This South of France... rich in ancestral heritage, a generous terroir and deeply rooted traditions... I propose to take you as close as possible to its soul with passion, authenticity and conviviality... offering you memorable experiences, full of discovery and emotion... 

The South is waiting for you... it's reaching out to you... 

Welcome to Gamin du Sud!

Lunel

The Nîmes Arena is a Roman amphitheatre built at the end of the first century. They represent the identity of this French Rome.

A perfectly preserved Roman temple in Nîmes. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2023.

Because this South of France is an epicurean, nourished by a generous land, each service includes a wine tasting * accompanied by sweet and savoury local products.

A land of freedom and wild natural spaces. Where bulls, horses and pink flamingos roam amongst the charismatic sites built by man.

The most visited ancient monument in France. The river it spans, the Gard, gave its name to the département of which it is the majestic symbol.

France's first duchy, its picturesque streets and facades steeped in history will transport you into a world of romance.

A little-known nugget, with its medieval historic centre, its Prison Tower and the luminous philosophical traces bequeathed by the Jews in the 12th and 13th centuries.
