Discover the garrigue and the aqueduct remains
With the open-air display "Memories of Garrigue", plunge into a journey through the history of Mediterranean agriculture, from stories of the land to an exploration of the remains of Roman aqueducts.
**Discover the garrigue
**
Through the 15 acres of restored agricultural parcels, "Memories of Garrigue" is a walking loop of 1.4km to the discover the Mediterranean landscape.
A team comprising a set designer, a landscape artist and an expert in Mediterranean landscapes, has sought to reconstruct the story of human activity in the region. They have helped us understand how humans shaped the landscape prior to the 19th century.
Throughout the visit, you will have the chance to learn about dry stone architecture (structures built without mortar or binding material): these structures include walls and fencing for terraced fields, as well as 'capitelles', dry stone huts used for storing farming tools or harvested produce. Numerous remains of the Roman aqueduct that connected the towns of Uzès and Nîmes are also visible throughout the visit.
A poetic and erudite route
The walk lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes and leads you across 1.4 km of trails. Feel free to wander at will, viewing vines, cultivated grain fields, olive trees, mulberry trees, holly oaks, fruit-bearing trees and other useful plants.
There is a useful viewing point complete with a panoramic map to help you understand the layout of the site. It clearly shows everything in relation to the Gardon river and the Roman aqueduct.
