Today we went to Le Pont du Gard. Le Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct designed by Henri Pitot and built in the 1st century AD. It was a very impressive structure with three tiers of arches. Some of us students along with two teacher did a dance in front of the aqueduct which turned out to be very entertaining for the other tourists visiting the aqueduct. We visited the museum at the aqueduct where it was interesting to learn some of the old history behind Le Pont du Gard.
After we visited the aqueduct, we went back to Avignon for lunch and visited the ruins of an old castle. Here we saw an amazing view over a typical countryside town in France.
