Serviers-Et-Labaume: Vieux Pont, Church and Cycling Loop

Serviers-Et-Labaume offers several specific points of interest to help you plan your trip: a cycling loop through fields, vineyards and garrigue, historic buildings, a weekly producers’ market and the La Bouscarasse water park. If you’re looking for a hotel for your stay, you can consider whether culture, cycling, hiking, nature or water activities should be your main focus. These different themes give you various reasons to include the town in your travel plans.

Cycling Loop and Hiking Route

The Boucle cyclo-découverte des Capitelles cycling loop starts and ends at Serviers-et-Labaume town hall. Along the way, it passes through landscapes of fields, vineyards and garrigue, and offers views of Mont Bouquet. The starting and finishing point, along with the landscapes described, gives you a specific reference point when planning a cycling trip. No walking time or difficulty level is specified.

The Le Mas-de-l’Ancienne-Église hiking route also passes through Serviers-et-Labaume. Cycling and hiking are therefore two different ways to include the town in your travel plans: the cycling loop description features the town hall, landscape and views, while the hiking route passes through the town. If you’re choosing between the two, you can use these differences in the route descriptions to guide your decision.

Church, Bridge and Clock Tower

Saint-Martin Church stands on the site of a Gallo-Roman sanctuary. Its origins date back to the 12th century; it was rebuilt at the beginning of 1662. These details refer to different historical layers: the site’s earlier history, the origins of the church and its later rebuilding.

The Vieux Pont de Serviers is a two-arch bridge built of regularly laid ashlar limestone. As a feat of civil engineering, it is dated to the 14th century; 1319 and 1869 are given as dates. The description distinguishes between its form and material: “two-arch” describes the bridge’s shape, while limestone and regularly laid ashlar describe its material and construction. For a culture-focused trip, the bridge provides a specific architectural point of interest.

The clock tower in Serviers is a square, four-storey municipal bell tower. At the top are a wrought-iron bell cage and an enameled clock face. Along with the church and bridge, the tower can be included as another distinct feature of a culture-focused stay.

Landscape, Water and Local Produce

Labaume is 2 km from Serviers, nestled in a valley on the banks of the Seynes. In the direction of La Serre, there are views of Uzès. Below Serviers-et-Labaume, the river provides a refuge for numerous species, including beavers. These landscape and nature features add a different perspective on the area around the town to the routes and historic buildings.

La Bouscarasse water park offers pools, waterfalls, fountains, inner-tube channels and water trails. Its listed facilities include a shaded, supervised and free car park. As facilities can change, check the information before your visit. This lets you consider the water activities as a distinct part of your travel plans, separate from the routes and cultural attractions.

The weekly producers’ market in Serviers-et-Labaume offers poultry, vegetables, honey, walnuts and products made from them, as well as cheese and spreads. Drinks are available at a small refreshment stand. The products on offer may vary. The market thus offers a different focus from the architectural sights and outdoor activities.
