Roman UNESCO Shore Excursion from Avignon

Created specifically for Avignon river cruise guests, this private shore excursion takes you beyond the city to discover one of southern France’s most extraordinary landmarks: the Pont du Gard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and masterpiece of Roman engineering.

Traveling in a premium air-conditioned minivan with your professional English-speaking driver-guide, enjoy a scenic drive through the Provençal countryside toward the Gard region. Along the way, your guide introduces the historical and geographical context that shaped this monumental aqueduct, built nearly 2,000 years ago to supply water to the Roman city of Nîmes.

At the Pont du Gard, the visit is deliberately paced to suit cruise travelers. Guests can admire the aqueduct from multiple viewpoints, walk along riverside paths, or simply enjoy the dramatic setting above the Gardon River. Walking is easy and optional, making the experience accessible to guests with varying mobility levels.

A flexible lunch break is built into the itinerary, allowing guests to enjoy refreshments / snacks or a light meal, on site. (lunch not included). 

This half-day shore excursion offers a perfect balance of history, scenery, and comfort, all carefully timed to guarantee a relaxed experience and punctual return to your river cruise ship in Avignon.
