We are staying very close to the Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge built in the 1st century AD.
We have been here before but it is so impressive and the day so brilliant we headed out to visit again
It originally extended from Nimes to Uzes (50kms) most of which was built underground.
This bridge was built to cross the river and the water ran over the third level.
It continues to amaze me how the Roman engineers built something like this so long ago and it is still standing looking so good.
C'est moi, looking mighty relaxed!
This olive tree was planted in 908 AD and is still surviving - something about the French terroir perhaps?
