Gard

Settled by the Romans and crossed by the Via Domitia, the first Roman road to be built linking Italy and Spain, Gard is named after the River Gardon. Originally created from the ancient province of Languedoc, it is currently one of the five departments that make up the Languedoc-Roussillon region. The department's Roman heritage is best preserved in the capital Nîmes and the nearby Pont du Gard viaduct, while there is plenty of beautiful countryside to explore.

CAPITAL: NÎMES - Important during Roman times, departmental capital Nîmes boasts some of the best remaining examples of Roman architecture, including Les Arènes amphitheatre and the spectacular aqueduct le Pont du Gard outside the city. Nîmes was also the birthplace of denim – the word coming from ‘serge de Nîmes'.
