Overview

Start of the tour with a stop in Orange, first at the Arc de Triomphe, built in the 20s AD in honour of the 2nd Gallic Legion, then at the majestic Ancient Theatre and its impressive stage wall, built around 30 BC and still used today, where you will make the tour with audio-guide. Then we will go to the Pont du Gard, first for the picnic with fresh produce from local farms, then for a walk on the site of the Pont du Gard, a sublime bridge-aqueduct built and used by the Romans to supply Nîmes with water. We will finish the tour in Nimes, with a first stop in front of the magnificent Maison Carrée, an ancient temple dedicated to the grandsons of the Emperor Augustus and built between the years 2 and 5 AD. Then you will visit the Roman Amphitheatre with an audio guide, a beautiful site built around 105 AD.
