Uzès and the Pont du Gard
Majestic, elegant and blending beautifully into its natural, wild surroundings, discover the Pont du Gard, an aqueduct of exceptional dimensions at the gateway to the Gardon Gorges. Then enjoy the warm, colourful atmosphere of Provence in Uzès, where you can lose yourself in the maze of narrow streets and shady squares.
Uzès
Elegant and discreet, Uzès reveals itself through secret gardens, medieval alleyways, shaded squares and mansions. The Fenestrelle Tower, a harmonious 12th-century Romanesque relic attached to Saint Théodorit Cathedral, and the famous Duchy of Uzès are among the must-see attractions during your visit to the town. Soak up the gentle Provençal lifestyle by visiting the market at Place aux Herbes, which showcases local products that are colourful and full of flavour.
The Pont du Gard
A few kilometres from Uzès stands the majestic Pont du Gard, which, with its 2,000 years of history, overlooks the Gardon River, the Uzège region and its rolling landscapes. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its impressive proportions (50 metres high on three levels) allowed the Nîmes aqueduct to cross the Gardon River. Swimming, a visit to the museum dedicated to its history, canoeing and hiking or mountain biking will enhance your visit to this magnificent ancient site, the most visited in France. Le Pré Galoffre, a hotel in the Gard, enjoys a unique location for visiting these sites rich in history.
