May I ask for your advice ?<br />I'll take a train from Paris to Nimes that arrives at 15h on a saturday of march and I'll have to leave Nimes at 17h of the next day. I did not imagine that the Pont du Gard is located so far from Nimes butI really love to see it. Do you think that I can go there and return to Nimes on the same day ?<br />Thanks so much for your precious advice ++++<br />HT.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03047928115874147257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823461643062381844.post-19112861704624925322014-10-09T20:30:42.221-07:002014-10-09T20:30:42.221-07:00Between Avignon and Nimes, which would be a better...Between Avignon and Nimes, which would be a better place to get to Pont du Gard (in terms of frequency of buses)?

I took the bus from the Avignon bus station, which is totally new as others mentioned. No issues at all. Schedule even still the same! In hindsight, I should have brought swim clothes, since it was summer and the river is gorgeous. Also bring beach shoes, since it's all rocks. Also, it's 10 Euro to get in, which I didn't realize for some reason. <br /><br />Keep in mind the bus stop to return is on the other side of the rotary, just north a bit... otherwise, these are still accurate. thank you!Eddie Radshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674938412757864981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823461643062381844.post-34048225001904969462014-03-03T18:28:52.806-08:002014-03-03T18:28:52.806-08:00Thanks......appreciate Thanks......appreciate Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823461643062381844.post-43497241000011264432014-02-06T04:43:47.893-08:002014-02-06T04:43:47.893-08:00Avignon bus station has moved.

I've just been to Pont du Gard and if it wasn't for this wonderful blog, I don't think I would have made it. I was visiting Avignon for just one day (from my 'base' in Cannes) and the schedule was tight. Fortunately, things went smoothly and I must say the place is really worth visiting!

Visitors are very welcome in the area, they are a crucial input to the economy and I have noticed that the verges and roundabouts on way into the Pont are better cared for than in my street. <br /><br />Just one thing, in this part of the world, Nîmes is pronounced Neemah, all final e being bellowed. So it is Marseillah, Vivah la Francah, Cotah du Rhonah. <br /><br />In August, if you walk from one side to the other, be prepared to be on the grill, so take water with you. <br /><br />Another tip - the Pope's palace in Avignon looks far more impressive from the outside than it does from within. Save time and money and just look at the edifice from the square. The Pont d'Avignon is also barely worth the effort. I've had guests say "Is that it?" or "Where is it?" as they stood looking at it.<br /><br />The Prof RobinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823461643062381844.post-25521276689707896532013-06-29T14:55:04.158-07:002013-06-29T14:55:04.158-07:00This blog saved us!

We literally stood facing the central station, looked left, found the Ibis hotel and walked to the left of that. Even then, the bus station is not well-marked ( well, this is France after all) and it is every bit as dark and creepy as described. One thing-- it looked like there was some sort of walkway that connected the train station/Ibis/Bus station, with an escalator or stairway heading down from the Ibis to the bus station. NB that you do not have to enter the Train station parking lot, the directions on this blog work just fine if you are standing on the sidewalk across the street from the train station. (facing the station). On weekends there are no helpful information personnel,but current schedules are posted on the wall behind glass. The bus ride was 2 euro 30 June 2013. also NB that for the return trip to Avignon from Pont du Gard the bus picks up at a different spot in the traffic circle, opposite where you were left off. Be sure to double check with the driver, he will point out the exact spot for you!

Drivers sell tickets so no need to worry about the office in the Gare de Nîmes. The Edgard schedule states that the bus stops at the Pont du Gard parking lot in summer months, but it doesn't (at least not in June), so you do need to get off at the roundabout/rotary ('Rond Pont du Gard') and walk. Note that to go back you need to go to the stop diagonally opposite, across the 'Rond'. There is a long gap between a bus at 1.54pm and one at 4.10pm, so plan ahead. Definitely worth it though!Andrew McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304601214734931518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3823461643062381844.post-29587718762102059092012-05-22T14:34:11.136-07:002012-05-22T14:34:11.136-07:00Yep, it's still accurate :)Yep, it's still accurate :)LaMixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001280037142000870noreply@blogger.com
