Pont du Gard

We rented a car in Avignon and drove out to see the Pont du Gard. This is a large Roman aqueduct spanning a valley to the west of Avignon. The aqueduct has been well maintained and repaired. The mix of old and new stone is clear to the casual observer.

Avignon

Avignon was the largest city we visited during our travels around the area. Avignon has maintained its city walls and is home to the grand Palace of the Popes.
