Please note that ... from June to August access is subject to a fee! (Only if you arrive via the main entrance). Whether you are on a bike or on foot, for a short trip to Ste Croix, you will have to pay 5 euros to pass ... (even if you don't swim, don't go to the "guinguette", etc ...). In short ... prefer another nearby passage, or come back off-season.

Adorable little lake where it's good to have a picnic and swim before getting back on the road!

the fallen tree is a single in // so it is better to stay on the main path.

Everyone knows the Pont du Gard, but the Castries aqueduct, much less well-known, is definitely worth the detour (to say the least). A very beautiful hike (possibly parking nearby) done in bright sunshine in the early afternoon, which allowed us to be in a solitary and dry landscape, but where the impressive arches of the aqueduct unfold majestically. An appreciable tranquility in the middle of the past. Superb photos are possible, and the loop allows you to see the covered conduit bringing the water. Sometimes at ground level and sometimes on the arches (there it is no longer covered), it is obviously no longer supplied. The interest is to stroll afterwards (or before) in the village in order to see the "urban" part of the aqueduct.

The Castries Aqueduct winds through the bush landscape and offers beautiful walks in the hinterland.
