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

A short, shady walk for most of the way. You'll discover a variety of landscapes. Paths full of flowers and scents of different types of wood, freshness and proximity to the river.Ideal for groups or families. Be careful between (7) and (8), where you walk on the asphalt road.

This is a fairly shaded hike, with one section offering a lovely view. The quarries are a fun and peaceful place for a picnic. The distance is not a problem as there is little elevation gain, making this a hike that is accessible to many, with the added bonus of a visit to Saint Quentin and its pottery workshops on the way back!

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.

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

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.

Set off to explore the small villages of the Uzège, the sandstone and quartzite formations classified by André Malraux, the remains of Copper Age huts and a beautiful, well-restored Romanesque chapel.

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.

This short route through the village of Saint-Chaptes in the Gard allows you to discover the rocks sculpted in open garrigue and also gives you a view over the village, its old narrow streets and its castle.

Passing through garrigue, the shade of holm oaks and vineyards, this hike will allow you to discover an old restored windmill, Gallo-Roman ruins and an XIth century Romanesque chapel with, from time to time, a breathtaking 360° panorama...

A beautiful 13 Km walk in the scrubland of Nîmes during which you will discover beautiful views of the Cevennes, magnificent capitelles and the Mediterranean vegetation: pines, cedars, fig trees, olive trees, strawberry trees, holm oaks, kermes oaks...

A lovely hike, preferably done in spring to avoid the summer heat. A fine balance between shady paths in charming oak forests and open areas mostly in vineyards. The thousand-year-old juniper tree alone is worth the trip, such is its majesty.
