Next, stop for 15 minutes at the Maison Carrée, a Roman temple that is remarkably well preserved, for photos. You then spend about an hour at the Roman amphitheatre in Nimes, the best-preserved arena from the Roman period. The guide explains its history, including its medieval use as a fortress and later restoration. Afterward, the tour continues to Uzes for a walking tour highlighting its medieval streets, including the 12th century Fenestrelle tower, the 11th century Bermonde tower, and the Duke's castle. You also take a lunch break here and visit the medieval garden, which offers views of the town.

The tour then heads to the Pont du Gard area, stopping for about 30 minutes to walk near the start of the Roman aqueduct, viewing the spring of l’Eure and some water conduits. The final stop is at the Pont du Gard itself for about two hours. This Roman aqueduct is one of the best-preserved in the world and a significant example of Roman engineering.
