Day 8: July 16, 2025
Today we focused on two Roman heritage sites in southern France: the Arenes de Nimes amphitheatre, and the aqueduct dubbed "Pont du Gard". Both are in excellent condition, in fact the Nimes amphitheatre is still in use! Here, they hold concerts, shows, and even bullfights.
We visited both places, hopping on and off our bus, and then in the afternoon headed southward towards Spain. Here, we went straight to the GLOP restaurant near Plaza Cataluña, and had paella dinner. A great way to start our time in Spain!
