Pont du Gard aqueduct

Pont du Gard
France, Nimes
The Pont du Gard aqueduct is located on the Gardon River northeast of Nîmes. It was built in the 1st century AD and is the tallest surviving ancient Roman aqueduct - its height is 47 meters and its length is 275 meters. The Pont du Gard consists of arcades arranged in three tiers. The lower tier is formed by 6 arches, the middle - 11, the upper tier, directly through which the water supply runs - 35. The bridge was restored in 1855 by order of Napoleon III, and traffic on it was closed.

How to get there? 1. Classic option, paid, repeatedly described in guidebooks. - Bus number A15 from Avignon, go to the Rond Point Pont du Gard stop (in Vers-pont-du-gard), on the road about 45 minutes, the fare is 1.50 euros (prepare a change, banknotes larger than 5 euros are not welcome); - Get off at the Rond Point Pont du Gard stop. We are on the left, following the signs. We cross the road and walk for about 5 minutes (the aqueduct is not visible from here - do not be alarmed). We approach the barrier.
