More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Avignon’s cool morning and into a compact minivan that feels more like a local’s shuttle than a tourist coach. The road unfurls through limestone ridges and olive groves; the Gardon river calls attention to itself with sudden, surgical blue-green bends.

History
Pont du Gard is a 1st-century Roman aqueduct built to carry water to Nîmes; Les Baux was a strategic medieval stronghold, and Roussillon’s ochre industry shaped local architecture and crafts.
Conservation
Pont du Gard is protected and managed to reduce wear from tourism; in Roussillon stay on marked paths to prevent erosion of the fragile ochre cliffs.
