Follow in the footsteps of the Romans
Settle into your campground rental in Alès and set out to explore an architectural gem. A remnant of the Roman era, the Pont du Gard is easily accessible by car from the Sunêlia La Clémentine campground.
Good to know! What was the Pont du Gard used for?
Built in the 1st century AD, the aqueduct was designed to carry water from Uzès to Nîmes. The Pont du Gard spans the Gardon River.
