Enjoy a refreshing break at one of the world's most beautiful spots. The beach on the river takes on a holiday appearance with gazebos set up along the right bank of the Gardon so you can stretch out comfortably and enjoy a bit of sun.

With the soothing sound of the river and chirping cicadas, delight in the beauty of the landscape. Indulge in a moment of quiet contemplation, facing this majestic Roman structure. Admire its reflection on the surface of the water and, depending on the time of day, swim under the shade of its arches and cool down after a day's exploration around the site.

Lounge around until cocktail hour and enjoy a drink on the beach, or stay until sunset and admire the warm summer colours reflecting off the ancient monument with its millennia-old stones.

At nightfall, you can sit in the beach gazebos and witness the gradual illumination of the Pont du Gard, a magical experience and great place to enjoy a balmy summer night.
