Description

⚠️ New vehicle from March 2026! Hello dear visitor, my name is Arnaud and will be your native Guide of this magnificent Provence. Among the 5 tours I offer, I take you today to the Roman monuments of Pont du Gard, Nimes and Orange. The tour will start in Nimes with a quick stop in front of the Maison Carrée, an ancient Roman temple, before taking an audio-guided tour of the Nîmes Arena. NB: from November to March, only a walk in the old town of Nîmes will be made, to see the main monuments. We will then stop at the Pont du Gard, for a picnic of local produce from local farms (from April to October only), then to stroll around the Pont du Gard for great views of this monument. Finally, we will head to Orange for a stop at the Arc de Triomphe and an audio-guided tour of the majestic Ancient Theatre. NB: from November to March, the tour will be done in reverse.
