Built over the Gardon river shortly after the Christian era, the Pont du Gard is celebrated as an absolute triumph of Roman aqueduct architecture.
The architects and hydraulic engineers who designed this bridge, rising to a height of almost 50m over 3 levels - the longest of which measures 275m - have produced a veritable artistic and technical masterpiece.
The bridge overlooks an extraordinary natural landscape, where two geological worlds meet in the rocky setting of the Garrigues.
Built around 100 AD, the Arena of Nîmes was inspired by the Coliseum in Rome, which had been built about twenty years earlier.
Emblematic of the Roman city, they represent more than 60 arches juxtaposed on two levels, 21 meters high.
Perfectly illustrating Roman genius, the Arena boasts titanic and exceptional dimensions: 133m long and 101m wide, with a track of 68m by 38m.
The Jardins de la Fontaine is a public park in Nîmes, in the Gard department.
They are built around the original Nîmes spring, which was already venerated by peoples before the arrival of the Romans.
In fact, the source of the Fontaine is also the origin of the creation of the town several centuries before the Gallo-Roman period.
Their architectural layout also highlights two of the city’s major ancient monuments, the Temple de Diana and the Magne Tower.
The Jardins de la Fontaine was one of the first public parks in Europe and is still one of the most remarkable.

Situated 6km from Saint Laurent, on the old road to Aigues-Mortes, an imposing 13th-century square tower stands in the middle of the marshes. It was built at the behest of Saint-Louis (King Louis IX) at the same time as the ramparts of Aigues-Mortes.
Today, from the top of this observatory, you can contemplate the fauna and flora of the Camargue in a protected environment (little egrets, grey herons, moorhens, coypu, as well as the horses and bulls of the Camargue).
