Pont du Gard by Thibault Magnien

The roman bridge of Pont du Gard is a real marvel. Crossing the Gard River, the bridge has been well renovated to allow visitors to enjoy the place in the best possible way. A museum have been set up at the entrance of the site and offers greats explanations and testimonies of the Roman life and mainly, the building of the bridge and its techniques. It is possible to walk on the first level of this three-level bridge. Almost 50 meters high and 275 meters long, the bridge was part of the 50 km aqueduct carrying water from Uzès to Nimes during the Roman period.
