Family outing visiting the beautiful site of Collias Hermitage.

A walk beginning above the Gardon Gorges and continuing down along Gardon River. Please note that part of the route crosses an area destroyed by fires in 2017.

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?

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.

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.

This hike is only permitted from 1 July to 14 January This circuit, on the right bank of the Gardon, alternates between balcony paths overlooking the Gardon gorges with unobstructed views to the north, then descends to the river and climbs back up through a wild valley. On the heights, the cliffs offer arches and caves carved into the limestone rock. Moderator's note Please note that some sections of the trail are in poor condition. See reviews

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.

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.

A beautiful walk through the Mediterranean forest to reach the Gardon and enjoy La Chapelle. Please note that the cave is closed from 1 May to 15 August and from 15 November to 15 March. The descent is gentle, but the climb back up is steeper, though fairly short. Alternatively, set off from Collias to enjoy the Gardon Gorges for longer 30/10/2023: I have reclassified this route as "medium difficulty" following several comments about the steep climb on the way back (+100m over 300m)

A walk along the Alzon river allows you to discover the source of the Eure, which was captured by the Romans to supply Nîmes with drinking water via the aqueduct. The remains are still visible. The walk then climbs to a magnificent viewpoint offering a wide panorama of Uzès.

A circuit around Uzès, discovering the Eure valley and its source that once fed the city of Nimes, then a loop through Gardoise scrubland to return to Uzès.

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... Addition Moderator on 05/06/2021 : modifications on the ground since the publication of this hike. Make sure to read the comments and opinions below before leaving.

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!

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