Pont du Gard Bus Parking
If you have a booked guided tour, please be ON TIME, as the Pont du Gard are strict on this. Guided tours give you access into the aqueduct itself.
Buy tickets at the group desk on the left. Meet your guide, if appropriate. Otherwise, walk the group through the exhibition center (toilets, café) and continue to the aqueduct. Aqueduct is 5-10 mins walk away.
Give some free time for photos. Remind them of the meeting time back at the bus. Use toilets!!!
They cannot climb to the top of the aqueduct (unless on a guided tour), but there are stairways at both ends of the aqueduct leading to excellent viewpoints. The one on the rive gauche is large and suitable for picnic lunches. Guide often leaves group at top on far side. Group descends and crosses independently
There is a visitor center with movie and a good exhibition, included in the ticket price. Also a cafeteria, shops and ice creams.
Bus driver should come in and get his ticket for exiting the coach park from the group desk. Leave it there for him/her.
