Uzès and the Pont du Gard: heritage and landscapes

Uzès brings together lanes, squares and historic townhouses around its old centre. A few kilometres away, the Pont du Gard recalls the Roman aqueduct that supplied Nîmes. Between these places, the Gardon Valley and the villages of the Uzège combine ancient heritage, stone architecture and scrubland scenery. Discover them through Horizon Provence’s photographic features below.
