The Pont du Gard
Tourist service in Vers-Pont-du-Gard :
An exclusive monument, an exceptional museum and unique, unspoiled surroundings, extending over 165 hectares. Walk in the footsteps of the Romans, just 28 km from Avignon.
The bridge, which is built on three levels, is perfectly preserved, thanks to the miracle of Roman architecture. Standing some 49 metres above the river, surrounded by fragrant scrubland, this 2000 year old bridge is the tallest and oldest example of its kind. At the foot of the bridge flows the Gardon valley, a popular site for bathing and relaxing in summer. Music festivals, events, exhibitions, workshops etc. are held here throughout the year.
