FOR THE KIDS

Nimes - Le Pont du Gard
This amazing triple-decker Roman aqueduct is a World Heritage site, a marvel of the ancient world, and a tour de force of Roman engineering. Explore the visitors' center, where you'll find a museum, a film, and even a hands-on play space for children. Hike along beautiful nature trails or rent a canoe and paddle down the Gardon River beneath the bridge.
