Just a few minutes from the famous Pont du Gard lies the prehistoric rock shelter of Salpêtrière – a real insider tip for history and nature lovers. People lived here thousands of years ago, using the natural rock overhang as shelter. Archaeological finds attest to settlement from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic period. The path there is short and leads through a quiet, Mediterranean landscape. Those who visit the Pont du Gard can wonderfully combine the rock shelter with a hike and get an impression of how our ancestors lived in this historically rich place.

The most beautiful view of the Pont du Gard opens up from the opposite river bank. From there you can admire the impressive Roman aqueduct in its full glory and take great photos – especially in the morning or at sunset, when the warm light makes the stone glow golden. Those who have a little time should take a short walk along the Gardon and enjoy the view in peace.

The Pont Pitot is the bridge built directly onto the famous Pont du Gard. It was constructed between 1743 and 1747 under the direction of engineer Henri Pitot, to allow safe crossing of the Gardon river without damaging the ancient Roman aqueduct. It is particularly impressive how the 18th-century architecture harmoniously integrates with the structure, which is almost 2,000 years older. Therefore, those who visit the Pont du Gard should not only admire the Roman aqueduct but also take a look at the Pont Pitot – only together do these two structures tell the complete story of this extraordinary place.
