Clear explanations during the journey
Roman immersion in Provence: a journey to the heart of antiquity
Roman remains are all the traces left by the Roman Empire in the cities and on the roads it occupied for centuries. They can be recognized in the architecture, but also in the way cities were organized around a forum, a theatre or baths, as if the city of today still carried within it the memory of Antiquity.
In Provence, this imprint is everywhere: bridges, aqueducts, paved roads and temples that have stood the test of time with remarkable elegance.
My role is to connect these places together and give you the keys to reading each site with a fresh perspective.

On the Gard River, the Pont du Gard impresses with its 1st-century aqueduct and its surrounding landscape. In Orange, the ancient theater and triumphal arch illustrate Roman power.
