The vacation will be so memorable because we all had such a good time together. We really meshed well and took things at a pace we were all comfortable with, even Anna. It truly was the ideal family vacation.
Greater Nîmes is the number one tourist destination, well-known for its Roman antiquities such as the amphitheatre, the best preserved of its kind.
The Pont du Garde is so breathtaking it is hard to properly describe, however, our guide book made a decent attempt. "No amount of fame can diminish the first sight of the 2,000-year-old Pont du Gard. The Romans considered it the best testimony to the greatness of their Empire, and at 49 m it was the highest bridge they ever built. It is made from blocks of stone, hauled into place with an ingenious system of pulleys and a vast phalanx of slave labour."
