From Nîmes we drove to the imposing Pont du Gard, an aqueduct bridge at the crossroads between Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence that was part of the 31 mile long aqueduct also built by the Romans in the 1st century AD to bring water to Nîmes. It is definitely one of the most famous (it's also on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites) and supposedly the highest of all Roman aqueduct bridges and the best preserved after the Aqueduct of Segovia in Spain. We climbed up the hill on the right bank, where we were able to enjoy spectacular views.
