Welcome to the center of the Midi! Between the Cevennes mountains to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and just about halfway between the bustling southern French cities of Nimes and Montpellier sits a village that makes you feel like you have arrived just where you want to be, yet at the same time like you are lost on the frontier of an ancient past. This is Sommières.Renown with locals for its Saturday market and lively culture, Sommières is the kind of off the beaten path place that feels like a real discovery the first time you find yourself there.Below PMT founder Jason Tippetts remembers what he thought about this outpost of ancient Rome when he came across it years ago.
