Le monument se dresse au cœur d'une forêt d'arbres et de vignes, au milieu des étangs littoraux de Pierre Blanche, de l'Arnel et du Prévost. Edifiée il y a 8 siècles comme une véritable forteresse, ce chef d'œuvre d'architecture est une illustration parfaite de l'art Roman.

This place is nothing short of incredible! It's amazing to see something back home (in Washington…read morestate) that's over a hundred years old and we get really excited about a tree that's 300-400 years old. This structure has been around for 2 millennia and remains structurally sound - I feel like if they could get a waterway to stand for 2000 years, we should be able to figure out how to make a roof last more than 10 years! We opted for a group tour and despite not speaking French (our friends did) we learned a lot via those who could translate for us! The aqueduct traveled nearly 30 miles and only fell 35 feet from top to bottom. It also went out of commission in 500 AD due to calcium build up in the channel. The tour takes you through the actual waterway up top and provided some unparalleled views. We went on a cloudy day and I can only imagine how amazing this thing must have looked two thousand years ago on a sunny day. I can imagine it looks incredible in a sunny day today! If you have a chance to go here, you should do it. It's incredible from an engineering, history and general interest perspective!

This bridge is out of the way from the main road, so you will have to park near by, and walk along the banks to find it. It is very unique looking in the region and survived many wars and local disasters. During the month of July, the town celebrates "Isis" a local water spring and near the bridge you can watch battling in the water. It is near the Museum of the Cevennes and walking distance from the center of Le Vigan. Hope you will enjoy this old bridge as much as I did.

But also to attack. So there you go. Lots of places to eat even in off season of late September. Very interesting stop but be warned it can be a long walk from the parking lot to the town and very hilly in the town. Be ready and buy or have water.
