Pont du Gard


Pont du Gard

This is a photo of one of my favourite places in the South of France and somewhere I hope to visit again this year. When I went there several years ago you could walk right along the top, which as the stones are a bit crumbly was rather scary. I don't think you are allowed to walk up there any more which is very sensible from a conservation and safety point of view. I will be taking my grandson who is mad on anything related to Romans and I hope he will be as impressed as I was that something so old can survive so long.
