Exploring the Roman History of Languedoc
Sightseeing
This is an absolute must-see in the area. A short 40 minute drive from Calvisson takes you to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pont Du Gard, a 2000 year old aqueduct built over three levels to span the river and deliver fresh water to the Roman city of Nimes.
It is not only the tallest Roman Aqueduct in the world, but also the best preserved, and through one of the tours on offer you can walk along the very top where the water used to flow.

The Nimes Arena is an awe-inspiring Roman construction that is exceptionally well preserved. You can go inside and experience what the citizens of Nimes did back in Roman times.
There are also many events, concerts, and even bull-fighting that are staged in the Arena, almost exactly how it was 2000 years ago, only with less sacrifice and exotic animals.
