The Romans won Languedoc in the 2nd century B.C and we still keep many traces of their passage.
The city of Nîmes is today as true small Rome, proud of his small Colisée (arenas), his temple or else his crocodile.
During this day, discover another Roman monument, famous Roman aqueduct, the Pont du Gard.
