In order to build a bath in Nim, where there was no water nearby, the Romans thought of building a canal to divert water into the city. According to the habit, the canal should be buried underground to allow the river to flow, but a certain channel must pass through the Gard Gorge, so in the 30-40 years BC, the clever ancient Romans actually thought of using the most stable arch structure. A stone bridge that flows 46 meters above the river and 269 meters in length across the river flows across the Gard River. The upper layer of the stone bridge is a u-shaped canal, the middle part of which is diverted from the bridge, the middle layer is a stable bridge and a carriage, and the lower layer is added after the Napoleonic period, so the color of the stone can be clearly seen. The entire stone bridge was built by artificially weighing up to 6 tons of giant granite. After more than 2,000 years of wind and rain, it is now possible to walk on the bridge and feel its sense of history. The other side of the bridge walks across the river.

dieval town of Aiguës-Mortes in Southern France

🌟 Highlights: The old town is a medieval fortress, similar to Carcassonne. It's not very large, approximately 500 meters from north to south, but the city walls are quite impressive. The streets are filled with shops and restaurants, making it a well-developed tourist destination. After seeing Carcassonne, this place is just a small fortress, but if you haven't been to Carcassonne, it's still worth a visit when you're in the South of France. Nearby, there is also a pink salt lake, but unfortunately, I took the wrong direction. I should have walked along the left bank of the river, but I went to the right, and as a result, I saw a few white cranes but missed the pink lake. The sun is so strong, in August in the South of France, the sunlight is scorching, with temperatures reaching 33 degrees today. I didn't want to endure another hour of sun exposure, so I decided to give up. I'll keep it in mind for next time. 🚉 Travel tips: Take the train to Nîmes, then transfer to Aigues Mort
