Pont du Gard and Uzes - Day 20

Pont du Gard, Uzes

Wednesday, 10 October 2012
We had breakfast outside - George and Danielle have a lovely outside dining and lounge area. It was so relaxing!
It was a gorgeous day and I think the temperature hit around 27 degrees. George warned us that the surroundings of Pont du Gard have changed since we were last there. On the way we passed the Australian family on their bikes... and If they carried on down that same busy road I wouldn't have been particularly happy - and no helmets! (No one seems to where a helmet on a bike here!).
The entry into the Carpark at Pont du Gard is €18 and I've seem people moaning about that on Tripadvisor - but for this you get good parking; excellent facilities; an incredible museum and of course the national monument is cared for. We spent a good many hours strolling around, climbing up high above and going down to the river ( and having a paddle - it was a little chilly). The museum is fantastic plus there was a special exhibition on earth and all about it's building properties. Really good English and very hands on - lots of fun.
We headed back to Uzes for lunch and found a salon de the who was serving an afternoon menu. We then strolled around Uzes but didn't go into the palace or museum. It was getting pretty hot - which is a nice problem- so time to back to the Chambre D'Hote for a swim.
I found a restaurant on Trip Advisor that was highly recommended.it was round a corner and up a tiny alley. A gorgeous building inside - it was the old Dunjeon! I think this rates as the best restaurant we have been to so far ( do I keep saying that?). The food quality and in the case some really good service. A great day!
