A Bridge Not Too Far

This Weekly Special comes from our trip to the South of France last summer.  After Theo & I attended the Green Day concert in Nîmes, Anne-Laure and Ella took the train to meet us.   We spent part of the day at Pont du Gard.

Pont du Gard is an ancient aqueduct bridge crossing the Gardon River that was built by the Romans in the 1st century AD.  It is part of the 50-km long (31 miles) aqueduct system that stretched from the natural springs in Uzès to the Roman colony in Nîmes.  Today, it is UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fun park to visit with your family.
