20의 아르길리에가지 명소 & 주요 장소

로마 공학의 걸작인 퐁 뒤 가르(Pont du Gard)는 유네스코 세계 문화유산으로 지정되었습니다. 이 3단 수로는 이 지역의 상징적인 명소 중 하나입니다.

A quiet place, where it's important to meditate, letting the leaves rustle. A hermit performed several miracles here. This small chapel has become a place of pilgrimage. If you go here, respect the silence, as well as the grounds! Don't prevent others from believing what they want to believe.

Access is only available during certain periods of the year, due to the conservation of the small inhabitants that inhabit the area. The cave is open from August 16th to November 14th, and from March 16th to April 30th. Bring a good flashlight, as the crossing can take approximately 5 to 10 minutes. This cave is nothing more than the former underground passage of the Gardon River. Accessible to all, be careful, however, once you have crossed, you will be close to the cliff on the other side. The path beyond (T2/T3) can be daunting for some people. Don't hesitate to turn back if you have any hesitation.

With two millennia of history, the Pont du Gard stands above the Gardon valley. It testifies to the strength and sophistication of the Roman Empire. From this lookout you can admire its imposing size and complex structure which continues to fascinate visitors. Accessible and offering a panoramic view of the river and the bridge, this site allows you to appreciate the three levels of the bridge in their original design, in contrast to the pont cochère added later in the 18th century.

Due to the very steep climb, once the cave is passed, over rocks with places where even steel handrails had to be placed, this walk cannot be classified as “easy for every walker”.

Nice place in a wonderful area, however the chapel and cave were blocked off with bars so please don't expect to visit

Already seen accustomed for 50 years

The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct located in the south of France, near the city of Nîmes. It was built in the 1st century AD to carry water from the sources of the River Eure to the city of Nîmes, a distance of almost 50 kilometers. The bridge is an exceptional example of Roman engineering, with a system of stone canals that allowed water to be transported a distance of 50 kilometers, across rugged terrain, with a difference in level of only 17 meters. The Pont du Gard is also remarkable for its size and beauty, with its three tiers of arches rising to a height of 49 meters above the River Gardon. The Pont du Gard is today a popular tourist attraction, with a museum that tells the story of the aqueduct's construction and its use. Visitors can also stroll along the bridge, picnic in the surrounding gardens and canoe and kayak in the Gardon River. Sound and light shows are also organized on the bridge in summer. The Pont du Gard has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985 and is one of the most visited sites in the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
