▲ The Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct designed and built 2,000 years ago to transport water to Nîmes, stands as one of the tallest surviving Roman aqueducts in the world (48 meters), showcasing the ingenuity of Roman engineers. This remarkably well-preserved aqueduct, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is nestled within a 165-hectare natural area featuring Mediterranean landscapes. This architectural gem of Roman civilization continues to attract visitors from around the globe. The Pont du Gard is even featured on the 5-euro banknote!
▲ Tarascon Castle is located on the banks of the Rhône River and is currently under protection due to its unique characteristics. It is one of the ancient medieval castles in France and Europe, built in the 15th century by the Duke of Anjou. The castle features a very compact architectural style, completely surrounded by the Rhône River. The structure presents a formidable sight, with unadorned walls that barely allow light to penetrate. The height of the walls and towers, enclosed by lush scenery and water, matches their robust appearance.
