This morning, we drove northwest to Collias, and canoed downstream to Remoulins. The Gard River is quite lovely, and we went through a few rapids on the way. However, the primary reason that anyone canoes or kayaks this stretch of the Gard is to experience the three-tiered Roman aqueduct, Pont du Gard, from a different perspective.
Upstream of the Pont du Gard, the river cuts through some pretty scenery, and the only sounds that we heard were fabulously complex bird calls and rushing water. And then, coming around a bend you can see the top of the Pont in the distance.
Downstream, looking back at the Pont du Gard, the structure seems quite amazing.
What a great way to spend the day. And the weather was mild, so that made the trip even nicer. We highly recommend this adventure.
