Hiking
There is no charge for access to the Pont du Gard for hikers. The GR6 (Grande Randonnée) hiking trail crosses the bridge.
To the south, the GR6 crosses the low wooded hills (146 m) to the village of St Bonnet-du-Gard, and continues south via Sernhac and Meynes to Beaucaire on the Rhône.
On the north side of the Pont du Gard, the GR6/GR63 trails go west along the Gorges du Gardon, past Collias and on up the Gordon to Anduze.
Eastward from the north side of Pont du Gard, the GR63 goes through the perched village of Castillon-du-Gard, Rochefort-du-Gard and Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, on the Rhône beside Avignon.
