The routes of this land are documented by the remnants of the ages that are scattered throughout this region. You will discover historical wonders that will stay with you long after your holidays end. 450,000 years of history is waiting to be discovered. Dolmans and menhirs, signs of the first Europeans, are found in Tautavel and on the way to Lozère.
Rome also left its mark, shaping the landscape to perfect the wine making process which they did so well. Though the area was founded by the Greeks two thousand years ago, Roman architecture altered and now paves the way through the vine land.
Via Domitia, the Roman route from Rome to Spain, offers oppidum (settlements), bridges and milestones. Roman Nimes’ Magnus Tower, arena and temple and the UNESCO Heritage site of the Pont du Gard are two places not to miss.
