The area surrounding the Pont du Gard offers some "magnificent scenery" for property in France to stand in, according to the World Heritage site’s website.

Whether your preference for property in France is a villa standing alone in the Mediterranean countryside, or an apartment in the nearby city of Nimes, the Pont du Gard itself is likely to become a significant landmark.

The aqueduct was built 2,000 years ago by the Romans in order to carry water to Nimes – and remains standing to this day, testament to the 1,000 people who worked for more than five years on its construction.

Nearby, the seven-hectare Mediterranean garden of Memoires de Garrigue offers a further attraction for nature-lovers.

Here, the aromas of the Mediterranean await, while at Easter a celebration of the religious festival takes place.

Into summer, the activities continue with picnicking, teas and strolls through the beautiful natural surroundings of the garden.
