Holiday information

 

A walking holiday to the Pont du Gard

The limestone hills north of the Camargue form the final fold of the Massif Central. At the western fringe of Provence, these secret, sun-scorched hills conceal tiny stone villages and the ancient duchy of Uzès. Cutting a deep, wooded gorge through the scented hills, the River Gardon slips between the graceful arches of the mighty Pont du Gard, one of the region’s Roman masterpieces. This leisurely walk, perhaps the most relaxed and enchanting of all our short walking breaks, follows attractive paths through these most Mediterranean of landscapes, where the air is perfumed with the scent of herbs, and buzzards and falcons soar overhead. To discover this secret region on foot is a delight, all the more so when you stay in high-quality hotels throughout.
The Pont du Gard is just part of the 50-kilometre-long aqueduct which in Roman times carried water from the source of the River Eure, near Uzès, to Nîmes. It is arguably the most impressive section, a testimony to the Romans’ enormous engineering expertise, and is the largest surviving section of the aqueduct. As such, it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Necessary to carry the aqueduct across the Gardon, the bridge was built by the son-in-law of Emperor Augustus and is 273 metres long and 48 metres high, with 3 tiers of arches. The first level carried traffic, and was added to in 1743 to accommodate carriages, while the top level carried the water. The aqueduct took over a century to build, and was finally completed in the first part of the 1st century AD.

Itinerary

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You have a choice of start dates, and are free to add extra nights.

  • Arrival in Arpaillargues
    Night 1: at Château d’Arpaillargues (where you stay one night).
    As your first night’s accommodation is on the day of travel, Day 1 is your first day of walking.
  • Arpaillargues to Collias: 14km, 5hrs; ascent 200m/descent 265m
    You are dropped off in nearby Uzès and, before setting off on your walk, it is well worth taking an hour or two to explore – we provide detailed notes for a town trail. Besides some handsome old stone arcades, there are numerous monuments in the medieval heart of the town, including the elegant Fenestrelle Tower and the Ducal Palace.

    The walk to Collias is full of interest, and serves as a good introduction to the landscapes of the garrigue – gently rolling hills coated in kermes and holm oaks and other small shrubs, and dotted with sleepy hamlets. After descending into the Alzon valley – from where there are great views back to Uzès’ historic towers – you pass several old renovated mills, walking through open farmland, orchards and vineyards to reach Sagriès. Here, you ascend into the garrigue and on to the attractive village of Senilhac, before walking along the top of the Gorges du Gardon, with tantalising glimpses of the river way below you. Your destination for the next two nights is the Hostellerie le Castellas in Collias.
    Arpaillargues to Collias: 14km
    Leaving Senilhac
  • Circular walk from Collias: 13km, 4.5hrs; ascent/descent 240m; shorter option: 7.5km, 3hrs; ascent/descent 220m
    Today’s walk takes you along a shaded path through a lovely valley before reaching a delightful ruined Romanesque hermitage. From here, a brief climb onto the Gardon plateau allows you to choose whether to make a quick return through the wooded slopes of the river gorge, or to extend your walk southwards across the flower strewn plateau of the garrigue. If you are lucky, you may spot Bonelli’s eagles or Egyptian vulture as you walk. Along the way there are great views, with Mont Ventoux to the east and the Cévennes to the north.
    Circular walk via Gardon plateau
    Circular walk from Collias: 13km
    Circular walk from Collias: 7.5km
  • Collias to Vers Pont du Gard: 11km, 4hrs; ascent 105m/descent 140m
    This is a charming walk across the farmed plain of the river Alzon. On a combination of quiet country roads, farm tracks and small paths you encounter vineyards, traditional villages, and old stone quarries that date back to Roman times, before finally arriving at the welcoming pool and garden of the La Bégude Saint Pierre.

    You should aim to reach here by lunchtime, leaving the afternoon free to visit the Pont du Gard, its excellent museum and visitors’ centre. Even if you have seen pictures of this spectacular monument, it is hard not to be awed by the sheer size and scale of the engineering feat that it represented 2000 years ago, when you see it for the first time.

    Comfortable hotels, interesting routes and good weather for late October. Worked well as a short trip of just 4 days and travel by train was straightforward.

    Excellent inns. Excellent food (& wine). Lots of walking exercise through beautiful Provence. Capped with a visit to the magnificent Pont du Gard.

    Excellent all round, as always. Great holiday.

    08 April 2023

    The walking holiday was great. We totally enjoyed it. It was our second Inntravel holiday so we had high expectations. The owner at the chateaux hotel was quite rude and that left a downer on our first night. But as soon as we got to the Castellas in Collias we were won over. Fab hotel and lovely people made us feel very welcome. Walks were great especially the onward route to Pierrerue. The towns and vineyards great.  Hotel Alex in Marseille was nice but we would of preferred a smaller hotel not so in the centre and more Inntravel if we can say that. There was no food offered and we felt left a bit as there was no taxi or travel arranged to the airport. Our last holiday arranged our taxi back to the airport. When we enquired we were told you no longer do this. Overall it was a lovely holiday just disappointed in Marseille. Felt it was a bit premier inn not Inntravel.

    INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers booked our Marseille City add-on after our walk 'The Best of Roman Provence'.

    Absolutely superb holiday walking through beautiful French countryside, visiting medieval towns and staying in wonderful, characterful hotels. Market in Uzes on Wednesday morning was great experience. Thank you, Inntravel.

    Fascinating walk to see the nature and history of the region. Comfortable, characterful hotels with excellent food and delicious local wine.

  • Ms C Tagart

    23 October 2022

    All the accommodation and food was very high quality and a real treat. We were a bit underwhelmed by the walk from Collias to Vers-Pont-du-Gard until we came across the quarries which were an amazing sight and we appreciated the information boards and bench. We spent a whole day at the Pont du Gard area and were very glad we did. The museum is excellent, especially at putting the Pont du Gard into the wider context of the whole aquaduct between Uzes and Nimes. We would have liked to visit the area of the source of the water around Uzes. On the way back to la Begude Saint Pierre we took a wrong turn (easily done and only about 50m) and came across another bit of the aquaduct that had the incredible build up of limescale where farmers tapped into the water, and the way the arches had to be infilled to give extra support. We were very glad we went the wrong way and saw it before back tracking. If you could incorporate following the aquaduct at various points on the way back (there's a lot of it there), I'm sure others would find it interesting.

    This was our first InnTravel holiday and we were delighted with the whole experience and guidance notes. Each hotel and walk was different and it was clear a lot of research had been carried out beforehand. Uzes, Collias and Ver Pon du Gard were beautiful villages which we would love to visit again some day. We can't wait until our next InnTravel holiday.

    We loved the walking and sights on the Secret of Provence! Our family of 4 had a wonderful time.  We also loved the inns and meals, which were exceptional. The only thing we would do differently is stay additional nights at the inns because they were so fabulous.

  • Mrs E Duvall

    Routes were very well described.  The inns were also very nice with the exeption of dinner at La Bégude Saint-Pierre.  We did not use the transfer service as we had heavy rain on the first day and decided to keep our car.

    We loved our holiday trip. The notes provided for all the walks were extremely helpful and cannot fault one thing about the holiday and the planning that went behind it. Inntravel thought of every little detail, from train tickets to letting hotels know when to expect us. We really loved our holiday and look forward to using Inntravel again. 
 

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • We’ll send you route notes and maps 2-3 weeks before your holiday. The route notes not only contain directions to get from A to B, but also include practical information about places of interest and eateries along each route, plus cultural information about the area. If/when you are moving between hotels, you leave your luggage in reception as you leave, and it will be transferred ahead to your next accommodation, meaning that all you need to take with you are a camera, sun cream, drinks, food and waterproofs.

    For more detailed information, see our walking holidays in Europe page.
  • Yes, prior to going on holiday you will be able to download GPX tracks so that you can follow your route on your smartphone or dedicated GPS device if you wish. It’s entirely up to you whether or not you use them – our detailed, step-by-step route notes remain the principal means of guiding you from A to B – but we provide them as a secondary means of navigation for additional reassurance when walking.
  • We can book a wide range of routes from the UK with a variety of airlines. As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. The fee for this service is £35 per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). More information on flights >
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
  • Since our holidays are self-guided, we recommend calling us for a chat about your plans before making a booking, especially if it’s the first time you’ve booked with us.
    The price panel shows the supplement for a single room and also the single traveller charge (this covers (luggage) transfers and other costs which are usually shared between two people).
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can incur a five or six-figure bill.

    Many insurers offer travel insurance (you can find details on our insurance page of a policy that you may like to consider if you are a UK resident), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    When you purchase a policy, be sure to check that it covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to France, but not a visa (please note, however, that a new travel authorisation system is being introduced). If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
  • The official language is French. The currency is the Euro. French time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.
  • For information on the practicalities of travel now that the UK is no longer part of the European Union, visit www.gov.uk/visit-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-liechtenstein.
  • The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides up-to-date, country-by-country travel advice, as well as information on security, local laws, passports and visas for UK citizens.

    If you live outside the UK, see our essential travel information page for a list of relevant websites.
  • You are the best judge of your child’s/children’s capabilities. We are happy to take bookings for families of older children/teenagers if they walk regularly, love the outdoors and are comfortable with the distances and ascent/descent involved. Please note that the bedrooms at most of the accommodation we use will normally only sleep a maximum of 3 people, and sometimes only 2.
