Itinerary

1. The garden was laid out in accordance with the classical layout around the Nemausus spring, spreading forth a supply of water that feeds pools and the canal. In the Gallo-Roman period, this area was the site of the baths, theatre and the temple of Diana which with its surrounding greenery makes for a romantic backdrop.

2. A true masterpiece of Gallo-Roman architecture, the Maison Carrée is today the only ancient temple in the world to be perfectly preserved. Photo stop.

   15 min

3. The Roman amphitheatre (or arena) in Nîmes is the best-conserved of the Roman world. The monument was turned into a fortress in the Middle Ages, forming a refuge for the population in case of danger. The inner part was later filled by private houses until the nineteenth century. In 1809, houses, chapels and the chateau of the viscounts of Nîmes were demolished to give the monument its initial appearance. Today, the amphitheatre forms a fine venue for many occasions—bullfights, congresses, concerts and sports events.

• 5Fun 1/2 Day

  We had a great tour guide, who was also a great driver. Many wonderful things to see, and we hope to come back some days to spend a little more time, especially in Uzes.

• 4We arrived at sought-out locations.

  In the van we could hear with a microphone. Outside we could not hear well since the guide spoke just to the closest person and spoke too fast.

• 4Side trip worth doing

  Mixed feelings about the tour. The things we saw were amazing with the exception of the Arena. The tour when booked made it look like the arena tour was included in the price and it was not. The arena tour itself was a waste of money as they were setting up for an event so you couldn’t really see much at all. Nimes and the little village we went to was very nice and the Roman aqueduct was spectacular. The guide was very informative and nice.

• 3No heart nor passion

  This was disappointing. Our guide seemed more interested in helping people get good photos than actually informing us. Basic questions about sites went unanswered. It was difficult to hear her when she walked ahead of us, while one member of our party was physically challenged and had trouble keeping up (we requested a wheelchair, and were flatly denied). While the sites were interesting, this could have been presented with some passion and heart - unfortunately, neither were present today.

• 4Stunning Provence

  Nathalie was very knowledgeable but talked very fast and we missed almost all of the names that were in French . Tour cut short due to two people needing to make a train and that should result in a small rebate for the rest of us . We were not aware of activity options at Pont du Gard . If we had had the whole two hours , we could have gobe swimming

• 5A must-do tour if you’re an Engineer!

  Highly recommend this tour! It was the highlight for my husband, a Mechanical Engineer. Nathalie was a very knowledgeable guide and an excellent driver around the beautiful Provencal countryside & villages. The small group was ideal. Everything was perfect!

About Avignon

Avignon is a walled Rhône city where the popes lived in the fourteenth century, known for its vast palace, a broken bridge and a summer theatre festival.

From 1309 to 1377 the popes governed the Catholic Church from Avignon, and the Palais des Papes, a huge Gothic fortress of pale stone, still rises above the old town. Medieval ramparts more than four kilometres long surround the centre. The Pont Saint-Bénézet, the Pont d'Avignon of the nursery song, stops halfway across the Rhône, with only four of its arches left.

Top-ranked sights in Avignon: Roussillon, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Pont du Gard.
