Le Pont du Gard
The Pont du Gard, one of the wonders of Antiquity, is the finest remaining example of an ancient aqueduct and was built almost 2000 years ago by the Romans. This architectural gem, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is set in a beautiful, unspoilt, natural setting.
The Pont du Gard is the most prestigious remains of the aqueduct built by the Romans around 2,000 years ago. Its size, its condition, and its magnificent arches make this the highest ancient bridge in the world. This architectural gem of UNESCO World Heritage stands in an unspoilt natural setting covering 165 hectares.
In the heart of the Avignon-Marseille-Montpellier triangle, the Pont du Gard is one of the wonders of Antiquity. It is the most spectacular section of a 50 km aqueduct that once carried water from Uzès to Nîmes.
