On the doorstep of the Cévennes, in Saint-Martin-de-Valgalgues, Pôle Mécanique Karting stretches 1,208 metres of outdoor track close to Alès, in the Gard department. The site is part of a wider motorsport complex bringing together karting, single-seaters and driving courses, which gives it a stronger motorsport feel than industrial-zone karting venues. Set in the Cévennes hinterland, in the transition zone between the Languedoc plain and the early Cévennes foothills, the site enjoys an open setting that breaks from urban karting.
With its 1,208 metres, the outdoor layout offers a real driving track : straights long enough to push speeds and technical sequences that demand precision. It's a format that speaks to experienced drivers chasing lap times, but the site stays accessible to beginners thanks to gentler kart classes and karts suited to younger riders for family driving. The site regularly hosts driving courses, stag and hen parties, and corporate events in the Cévennes setting.
Saint-Martin-de-Valgalgues is ten minutes from Alès, 45 minutes from Nîmes and one hour from Montpellier. The area offers plenty to extend the trip: the Cévennes listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the Camisard valley, the Mine-Témoin in Alès, the Anduze bamboo grove, or a detour to the Ardèche gorges an hour away. A solid pick for motorsport fans wanting to combine driving and Cévennes exploration off the classic tourist trails.
