What to expect

Built in the heart of a region with a rich historical heritage, near Uzès and Avignon, the Pont du Gard is the most visited ancient monument in France. Built by the Romans in the first century BC, this masterpiece spanning the Gardon was originally intended to supply the city of Nîmes with water, located a few kilometers away. 48 meters high, this aqueduct classified by UNESCO is the highest of its kind in the world. It remains the only one with a triple row of superimposed arches. Its path follows the layout of the ancient work, leading from vestiges to belvederes with magnificent view points. Prouesse of Antiquity, it imposes itself with grace in an exceptional natural site, between the blue of the sky and the green of the scrubland. Its redevelopment in 2000, which restored its original setting, earned it the "Grand Site de France" label.
