European Heritage Days 2026
To mark the 43rd European Heritage Days on 19 and 20 September, the Pont du Gard invites you to enjoy a weekend filled with fun, adventure and discovery. This year, two themes take centre stage: ‘Photographic Heritage’ and ‘Heritage at Risk: Revive, Resist, Reimagine’. An invitation to explore the history and secrets of this exceptional monument in a new way.
