Departure from Saint-Bonnet-du-Gard (Gard)
A very pretty hike with no major difficulties. You will discover the Pont du Gard, of course, but also numerous remains of aqueducts and several aqueduct bridges in varying states of repair. A short detour along the left bank of the Gard allows you to visit the Grotte de la Balauzière, located in the ruins of an old village. Finally, on the plateau on the left bank, you can explore the very interesting Arboretum. During the walk, you can admire thousand-year-old olive trees and an arboretum.
And why not take a dip in the Gard?
