In the shadow of the Great Bridge, the Mediterranean garrigue remembers... 
On the limestone plateau on the left bank of the river, come and explore the open-air exhibition, "Mémoires de garrigue".
15 hectares of restored farmland, showcasing the landscape and the work of man over thousands of years.

A landscape that tells a story

On this poetic trail, you'll discover all the species that made up the Mediterranean landscape, shaped by the men who cleared the land, dug stones out of the ground, built walls with their hands, cultivated and exploited holm oaks and grazed sheep. On this occasion, you can wander freely through plots of wheat, olive trees and vines that have been recultivated.

To help you understand this landscape, its history and how man has shaped it over the centuries, we have prepared an accompanying booklet. It's on sale at reception, so don't hesitate to ask for it. 

As you walk along the 1.4 km trail, you'll be inspired by the themes of agriculture and the continuing cultivation of vines, cereals and olive trees; the forest and all the activities associated with it: charcoal from holm oaks, truffle picking 
, game hunting and pastoralism.

The Roman engineers who built the Pont du Gard are considered today as creators of heritage, artists... The farmers who developed the garrigue close to the great monument are the artists of this landscape.
