DAY 5: A PHOTO STUDY OF PONT DU GARD, PART 1 (It reads backwards, sorry!)



Here is a view of the whole Pont, taken from the overlook on the hill above it. This aqueduct brought water in from fairly far away, and may be one of the most perfect examples left.



Here we are looking from the bottom, where tourists walk across. There is no access to walk across the top.



This view of the bottom shows you some of the construction. Remember, this is 2000+ years old and originally was built without mortar, I believe.



Another view of the Pont, from the trail that goes up to the top, where you can see the channel that leads into it.
