User comments

Sadly the joys of Beaucaire are long past.Certainly the town is well situated and easy to get out of.The canal area is pleasant but the rest of the town is tawdry.
A huge cement factory looms close to town.If you are looking for an idyllic few days in Provence then do inquire if your accomodation has a view.I wish I had .A cement factory view was not my dream of Provence, the taste and smell of Cement remain with me.
No doubt Provence is a lovely place.I expected lavender on the breeze-not cement.
Beware Beaucaire and accomodation websites which disguise the truth.
