The Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard in the south of France near Avignon is one of the greatest sights in all of ancient history. It's an incredibly impressive structure, in fact, the tallest ancient bridge and the second highest structure the Romans ever built, after the Colosseum in Rome which is just six feet higher.
Pont du Gard is part of an ancient, water channel about 31 miles in length, built mostly on or beneath the ground to carry water to Nimes. The Romans constructed this bridge across the valley about 2,000 years ago to maintain an even flow of water with just a very slight change in level, dropping only about one inch every 300 feet. This engineering miracle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Three levels of arches hold up the water channel that runs across the top. The tallest arches that Roman engineers ever built are on the bottom. Their buildings relied heavily on the arch, for many interior spaces were differing variations of this critical feature: large rooms were often made with barrel-vaulted ceilings, really a series of arches connected together, and an arch could also be spun around on its axis to form a dome, another important Roman innovation.
Coming all this way to Pont du Gard, you want to fully enjoy the various vistas for a complete appreciation. The paved path from the visitor center affords some decent views, but don't settle for this. Stroll across the bridge, then up a well-marked hillside path to gain access to the aqueduct's upper level where you can actually walk through the canal itself. It is partly open and partly covered, forming a dark tunnel that tall folks will need to stoop to get through. In ancient times it was completely covered over to protect the water. Here you acquire first-hand respect for the amazing engineering skill that created this marvel.
Exiting the aqueduct channel, walk back down slope, then along the stream on the sunny side of the structure for a few hundred yards to get the best possible view looking back toward the soaring masterpiece. Perhaps you'll get lucky and have a calm day with a mirror reflection of the bridge in the river's smooth surface. This is one of the world's most astonishing ancient sights, a marvel inherited from antiquity.
Keep one eye on the clock, for you might want to catch the bus to Avignon, leaving the same traffic circle at 1:22pm and arriving back in Avignon at 2:00pm. You do want that 1:22pm bus because the next one is at 6:45pm, reasonable only if you spent more time in Nimes earlier in the day. Otherwise, it's nice to be back in the great city of Avignon by mid-afternoon to catch up on sights you may have missed, do more shopping, or take a nap to recover from these three intensive days.
http://tourvideos.com/ Pont du Gard in the south of France is the highest bridge the ancient Romans ever constructed, 2000 years ago. It was built to carry water from the countryside into the city of Nîmes, which was a big Roman center back in those days, and it continued carrying water for 500 years. The Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard is one of the greatest sights in all of ancient history. It's an incredibly impressive structure, in fact, the tallest ancient bridge and the second highest structure the Romans ever built, after the Colosseum in Rome which is just six feet higher. This is part of a much longer aqueduct that goes for about 20 miles through the countryside, mostly at ground level, and just below ground surface intended and built to supply water to the nearby town of Nîmes. Occasionally, the aqueduct came across the River Valley and therefore, it had to be built upon a bridge spanning the Valley in order to keep by relatively level course for the water channel a couldn't possibly go down once had a Valley and then back uphill on the other side of the valley the water had to run fairly level. It only dropped about 1 inch every 300 feet and so to accomplish this, the Roman engineers built this incredible soaring stone bridge the middle arch of the bridge is the largest arch that the ancient Romans ever constructed in the highest bridge.

The Pont du Gard was built shortly before the Christian era to allow the aqueduct of Nîmes (which is almost 50 km long) to cross the Gard river. The Roman architects and hydraulic engineers who designed this bridge, which stands almost 50 m high and is on three levels -- the longest measuring 275 m -- created a technical as well as an artistic masterpiece.

Après avoir conquis la Gaule, les romains imposent leur civilisation aux Gaulois... Ils se mettent à construire des milliers de kilomètres de routes et remodèlent les villes. Les Romains imposent aux vaincus leur civilisation urbaines. Partout où ils passent, leur architecture doit marquer les esprits. C'est un véritable outil de propagande qui doit servir à s'attribuer les grâces des notables locaux ! A l'occasion des Journées du patrimoine, Fred et Jamy nous offrent une petite visite de deux glorieux vestiges de cette époque gallo-romaine: le Pont du Gard et les arènes de Nîmes.

http://tourvideos.com/ Pont du Gard in the south of France, is one of the great sights from ancient Rome, the second-highest building they ever constructed. We get a local perspective from our French guide Marc Jonas, with Provence Réservation, who explains the amazing aqueduct and the history. Pont du Gard is part of an ancient, 26 mile water channel about in length, built mostly on or beneath the ground to carry water to Nimes. The Romans constructed this bridge across the valley about 2,000 years ago to maintain an even flow of water with just a very slight change in level, dropping only about one inch every 300 feet. This engineering feat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The river valley here is just really quite gorgeous - you have the forest and the rocky shores on both sides, which makes it a very picturesque setting. It's a huge structure with the enormous volume of stone. It's a local limestone. It was quarried from just about a quarter-mile away from the bridge itself and there's it as much volume of solid stone here equal to the solid volume of the Eiffel tower. That's how big it is, they measured it at 21,000 m³ of rock that ways 50,000 tons huge structure.

The aqueduct was constructed by the Romans in the 1st century AD and was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985. It is the highest of all Roman aqueduct bridges and is the best preserved after the Aqueduct of Segovia.
The bridge has three tiers of arches, standing 48.8 m (160 ft) high, and formerly carried an estimated 200 million liters (44 million gallons) of water a day to the fountains, baths and homes of the citizens of Nîmes. The aqueduct descends in height by only 17 m (56 ft) over its entire length, while the bridge itself descends by a mere 2.5 cm, indicative of the great precision that Roman engineers were able to achieve using only simple technology. It was possibly used until as late as the 9th century, well after the fall of Rome. However, lack of maintenance after the 4th century meant that it became increasingly clogged by mineral deposits and debris that eventually choked off the flow of water.

Gard (French pronunciation: [ɡaʁ]; Occitan: Gard) is a département located in southern France in the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
The department is named after the River Gardon, and the Occitan name of the river has been replacing the French name of the department in recent decades, even among French speakers.
The Gard area was settled by the Romans in classical times. It was crossed by the Via Domitia, which was constructed in 118 BC.
Gard is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from the ancient province of Languedoc.
It was originally intended to include the canton of Ganges in the department which would have been geographically logical, but Ganges was transferred to the neighbouring department of Hérault at the outset. In return, Gard received from Hérault the fishing port of Aigues Mortes which gave the department its own outlet to the Gulf of Lion.
During the middle of the nineteenth century the prefecture, traditionally a centre of commerce with a manufacturing sector focused on textiles, was an early beneficiary of railway development, becoming an important railway junction. Several luxurious hotels were built, and the improved market access provided by the railways also encouraged, initially, a rapid growth in wine growing: however, many of the department's viticulturalists were ruined by the arrival in 1872 of phylloxera.

Pont du Gard, France, with local guide
http://tourvideos.com/ Pont du Gard in the south of France, is one of the great sights from ancient Rome, the second-highest building they ever constructed. We get a local perspective from our French guide Marc Jonas, with Provence Réservation, who explains the amazing aqueduct and the history. Pont du Gard is part of an ancient, 26 mile water channel about in length, built mostly on or beneath the ground to carry water to Nimes. The Romans constructed this bridge across the valley about 2,000 years ago to maintain an even flow of water with just a very slight change in level, dropping only about one inch every 300 feet. This engineering feat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The river valley here is just really quite gorgeous - you have the forest and the rocky shores on both sides, ...

http://tourvideos.com/
The Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard in the south of France near Avignon is one of the greatest sights in all of ancient history. It's an incredibly impressive structure, in fact, the tallest ancient bridge and the second highest structure the Romans ever built, after the Colosseum in Rome which is just six feet higher.
Pont du Gard is part of an ancient, water channel about 31 miles in length, built mostly on or beneath the ground to carry water to Nimes. The Romans constructed this bridge across the valley about 2,000 years ago to maintain an even flow of water with just a very slight change in level, dropping only about one inch every 300 feet. This engineering miracle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Three levels of arches hold up the water channel that runs across the top. The tallest arches that Roman engineers ever built are on the bottom. Their buildings relied heavily on the arch, for many interior spaces were differing variations of this critical feature: large rooms were often made with barrel-vaulted ceilings, really a series of arches connected together, and an arch could also be spun around on its axis to form a dome, another important Roman innovation.
Coming all this way to Pont du Gard, you want to fully enjoy the various vistas for a complete appreciation. The paved path from the visitor center affords some decent views, but don't settle for this. Stroll across the bridge, then up a well-marked hillside path to gain access to the aqueduct's upper level where you can actually walk through the canal itself. It is partly open and partly covered, forming a dark tunnel that tall folks will need to stoop to get through. In ancient times it was completely covered over to protect the water. Here you acquire first-hand respect for the amazing engineering skill that created this marvel.
Exiting the aqueduct channel, walk back down slope, then along the stream on the sunny side of the structure for a few hundred yards to get the best possible view looking back toward the soaring masterpiece. Perhaps you'll get lucky and have a calm day with a mirror reflection of the bridge in the river's smooth surface. This is one of the world's most astonishing ancient sights, a marvel inherited from antiquity.
Keep one eye on the clock, for you might want to catch the bus to Avignon, leaving the same traffic circle at 1:22pm and arriving back in Avignon at 2:00pm. You do want that 1:22pm bus because the next one is at 6:45pm, reasonable only if you spent more time in Nimes earlier in the day. Otherwise, it's nice to be back in the great city of Avignon by mid-afternoon to catch up on sights you may have missed, do more shopping, or take a nap to recover from these three intensive days.

This is part of a much longer aqueduct that goes for about 20 miles through the countryside, mostly at ground level, and just below ground surface intended and built to supply water to the nearby town of Nîmes. Occasionally, the aqueduct came across the River Valley and therefore, it had to be built upon a bridge spanning the Valley in order to keep by relatively level course for the water channel a couldn't possibly go down once had a Valley and then back uphill on the other side of the valley the water had to run fairly level. It only dropped about 1 inch every 300 feet and so to accomplish this, the Roman engineers built this incredible soaring stone bridge the middle arch of the bridge is the largest arch that the ancient Romans ever constructed in the highest bridge.

http://tourvideos.com/ Pont du Gard in the south of France, is one of the great sights from ancient Rome, the second-highest building they ever constructed. We get a local perspective from our French guide Marc Jonas, with Provence Réservation, who explains the amazing aqueduct and the history. Pont du Gard is part of an ancient, 26 mile water channel about in length, built mostly on or beneath the ground to carry water to Nimes. The Romans constructed this bridge across the valley about 2,000 years ago to maintain an even flow of water with just a very slight change in level, dropping only about one inch every 300 feet. This engineering feat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The river valley here is just really quite gorgeous - you have the forest and the rocky shores on both sides, which makes it a very picturesque setting. It's a huge structure with the enormous volume of stone. It's a local limestone. It was quarried from just about a quarter-mile away from the bridge itself and there's it as much volume of solid stone here equal to the solid volume of the Eiffel tower. That's how big it is, they measured it at 21,000 m³ of rock that ways 50,000 tons huge structure.
