Although the Pont du Gard is not near to any main towns, it is definitely worth the effort to go and visit. It's quite an awe-inspiring site to see the scale of the bridge in person and I did a lot of walking around to get views of the structure from different perspectives.

The admission cost is quite reasonable and I would highly recommend getting the ticket that gives you access to the museum and takes you on a guided tour of the aqueduct channel on the top level of the bridge. The museum has excellent exhibitions that explain the history of the site, and I don't think you can really appreciate how it works until you walk along the top level.

The management of the site has done an excellent job of preserving the site, offering an authentic historical experience, but also creating an enjoyable visitor environment. I love that you can have a picnic on the sand or go for a swim in the river on the a summer's day, if you want.
