Dating back to the roman period, the Pont du Gard, a stone bridge aqueduct was built by the Romans to supply Nimes with water, and remains one of the most visited monuments in Provence. Dating from the first century, it is one of the best-preserved aqueducts built during the Roman Empire and has truly impressive scale. Continue Les Baux de Provence, a picturesque medieval village that sits on a rocky spur in the Alpilles Mountains. With its historical pedestrian centre and surrounded by olive groves that produce a well-known olive oil, Les Baux de Provence is a worthy visit.

By the end, you will understand why the landscape so inspired Van Gogh to paint it over and over again.
