About this tour
An 8-hour private tour from Aix-en-Provence through three showcases of Roman engineering. You'll visit Orange's Theatre Antique, one of the largest surviving amphitheatres at 103 metres long; the three-tiered Pont du Gard aqueduct that once channelled water across 50 kilometres; and Nîmes' arena and Maison Carrée temple. Your driver handles all logistics while you explore structures built two millennia ago.

- Theatre Antique in Orange: colossal 103m amphitheatre, largely intact
- Pont du Gard: three-tiered Roman aqueduct spanning a gorge
- Nîmes arena and Maison Carrée temple, both exceptionally preserved
- Private vehicle and guide from your Aix accommodation
- Pont du Gard entry included in tour price
- Flexible itinerary—choose which sites to enter or photograph externally
What to expect
Your guide picks you up in Aix and drives north towards Orange, where the Theatre Antique dominates the town centre. It's a working monument—you can enter to walk the tiers or view from outside. Next, you'll reach Pont du Gard, spanning a limestone gorge with three arches stacked vertically. Entry is included; most spend an hour exploring the structure and walking the riverside paths. Finally, Nîmes offers two distinct Roman landmarks within walking distance: an amphitheatre smaller but remarkably complete, and a rectangular temple with pristine Corinthian columns. You choose which to enter based on energy and time.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes—there's uneven ground at Pont du Gard and the amphitheatres. Bring sun protection and water; little shade at the sites. Prams and specialist infant seats are available. The drive between stops is scenic but accounts for roughly half your time.
