) stands 50m tall and 275m across. In its day the top tier watercourse car-
ried 20,000 cubic meters of water a day. The bridge's 35 arches majestically straddle the
River Gard and whether you walk across it, or paddle underneath in a canoe, it is a magni-
ficent sight. Make sure you visit the whizz-bang Museo de la Romanité (

full, interactive history of the site.
