Walk the ‘Memories of the Garrigue’, an open-air route that takes you on a trip through Mediterranean agriculture, the local terroir, and the remains of the Roman aqueduct
Visit: 400 route du Pont du Gard La Bégude, 30210 Vers-Pont-du-Gard France
Step inside the atmospheric underground museum on the Pont du Gard’s left bank and relive the eye-opening story of how the aqueduct was built. Did you know it took over 1,000 men five years to construct, and weighs almost 50,000 tonnes?
Learn about the structure’s importance back in Roman times via virtual reconstructions, movies, and exhibitions. Outside, walk through the history of Mediterranean agriculture and see the aqueduct’s remains.
The Pont du Gard is the only example of a three-story ancient bridge of this magnitude still standing. Impressive stuff.
