The result of a flood
Following the 2002 floods, the appearance of the beaches was completely transformed. The banks of the Gardon, which used to be rich in vegetation, became rocky. A plan to recreate beaches on the riverbank was conceived by Nez-Haut, the agency behind Paris-Plage.
Excellent beach equipment
Rendez-vous à la rivière (Stéphane Barbier)Since 2004, a temporary installation has been set up every year. Simple wooden structures and rafts sit at the water’s edge. Here, visitors and locals alike can come to soak up the sun. Those wanting to remain protected from the sun will find covered rafts. All in all, we have done everything to ensure that all visitors can enjoy a spot of relaxation among the stunning surroundings of the Pont du Gard.
