Fournès walks

A foray into the heart of the wild Grand Combe, then the heath of the Gard. On this route, there are no breathtaking views or heritage sites, just nature in its simplest form.

Sernhac is located on the route of the Roman aqueduct, between the Pont du Gard and Nîmes. In the middle of the nearby heath, two tunnels dug into the limestone rock are the remains of this aqueduct. Continuing the walk, you will visit an old windmill. You will then climb Ferraud Hill, offering beautiful views of the lower Rhône Valley, the Alpilles, and more. Then, on Marduel Hill, overlooking Remoulin and the Gardon River at its end, the view extends all the way to Ventoux.

Follow in the footsteps of the Roman aqueduct of Nîmes, between Sernhac and its tunnels and the Pont du Gard, passing through Saint-Bonnet-du-Gard and its fortified church.

One of the most beautiful hikes to discover the tunnel (where the water flowed from Uzès to Nîmes), the Pont du Gard, and the remains of the Roman aqueduct.

At Sernhac, south of Remoulins and Saint Bonnet du Gard, there are two tunnels that flank a small nice valley. The Perrotte and Cantarelles tunnels. Head through them to discover the chimneys by which men lowered equipment and raised the rubble during excavation. One can see traces of blows of pickaxes and holes for oil lamps. Today it is a quite popular place to find some shade and cool off for the villagers.

Easy hike where you can discover the Pont du Gard and its environment.

A breathtaking heritage walk leading to one of the most beautiful wonders in France, the Pont du 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?

A picturesque walk that allows you to discover two villages (Montfrin and Théziers) as well as the largest bee wall in France.

A different way to access the Pont du Gard on foot is from the top of the bridge, following the aqueducts that are often overlooked by the public. You will walk along fairly flat paths and discover ruins along the way. You will arrive at the top of the Pont du Gard and can descend to the Pont du Gard site free of charge.

A beautiful hike that takes you to the drystone shelters, old huts built from dry stones in the heath. Beautiful landscapes and panoramic views of the Rhône.

Discover the village wash-houses, the Pouzaranque de Plagnol, the capitelles to the North and the ruins of the Roman aqueduct.

Discovering Rochefort-du-Gard and its religious heritage, then diving into the green oak trees, which make up a large part of the surrounding vegetation, for some solitude.

Enjoy an easy stroll through the hills of Boulbon, passing by the Moulin Bonnet.

From the beautiful medieval village of Boulbon, you can reach the Abbey of Saint-Michel de Frigolet, dear to Père Gaucher, inventor of his famous liqueur, via the Montagnette. On the way back, you will pass the cross and the Romanesque chapel of Saint-Julien. And finally, the fully restored Moulin Bonnet and the feudal castle of Boulbon.Moderator's note: reviews of this hike indicate that it is useful to use a GPS or the Visorando app.

Through heath and pine forests, discover the hills of Saint-Roman and its Roman ruins.
