On our very first visit to Nimes, there was one place I’d really wanted to see but considering how you’d need to have a car (or go on a bus journey which was rumoured to be over 1 hour long) and we’d showed up with no plans on getting a car, I’d just decided that this was one sight we would have to skip.
To be fair, there’s a lot to keep you occupied in Nimes anyway, so this sight was ‘surplus to requirements so to speak.
The sight in question was the Pont du Gard – an ancient Roman viaduct, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, according to Wikipedia, the highest elevated Roman Aqueduct in the world.
