Day 1 Uzes and Pont du Gard
In the morning, meet your local guide to visit the lovely town of Uzes. It used to have the prestigious title of “First Duchy of France”. Walk through the charming streets of the city and admire the beautiful façades of Renaissance private mansions and the great and massive castle.
Your steps will lead you to the magnificent Saint Theodorit Cathedral. You would appreciate this beautiful monument and its particularity such as the “Fenestrelle” Tower...
As many cities of the Gard and Cevennes region, Uzes was also crossed by the religious wars in between Catholic and Protestants
Lunch: Stop for lunch in Uzes.
In the afternoon, leave Uzes to reach another place related to roman history and architecture. Go to the site of the “Pont du Gard”. This bridge is actually a part of a 52-kilometre long (30 miles) water way that was bringing water to the city of Nimes, and is protected by the Unesco world heritage organisation.
A nice walk to the monument would make you cross the typical Mediterranean landscape surrounding the bridge.
Your guide would explain you the monument building before you go to visit a museum dedicated to the water importance in Roman civilisation.

Hi Sabine.
I’m back and getting organized after our trip. We had a wonderful time, and your help in planning and scheduling went a long way to make our visit so enjoyable!
A question: my wife, Colleen, would like to send some pictures to Leslie. How do we best do that...do you have an email address for her?
Thanks.
