Its colourful docks, pretty neighbourhoods and exciting culture and museums make it a slice of Southern France in itself.
Pont du Gard is the most majestic part of an aqueduct built by the Romans 2000 years ago. The awe-inspiring architectural masterpiece was listed as UNESCO World Heritage in 1985 and brought running water to the people of Nîmes for 5 centuries. The stone giant is the tallest ancient bridge in the world and lies in a breath-taking natural setting.
Travel back to Roman times with a trip to the Museum, Cinema and Ludo space and go on a guided tour to the top of the aqueduct. This is one moving experience during your stay in the South of France that you'll never forget.
