Pont du Gard, Roussillon & Les Baux Day Trip

Pont du Gard, Roussillon & Les Baux Day Trip

We'll meet at the tourist office in Avignon and set off on our route through some of the most beautiful places in Provence. After an hour's journey we'll arrive at our first stop: Roussillon, a small town in the middle of the biggest ochre deposit in the world. You'll probably notice the houses are the same colour as the cliffs, and on the tour you'll find out why!

Next we'll head to Gordes, where we'll make a brief stop so you can take some photos of the spectacular views. Then we'll make our way to Les Baux, a fortress located at the top of the Alpilles mountain range. We'll explore the town and admire its squares and medieval churches.

Lastly, we'll make our way to the Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge. What century do you think it's from? Find out along with other fascinating facts about its history on the tour! 

After a six-hour trip, we'll head back to the starting point in Avignon.
