Arles, a city were you can still see a lot of Roman treasures.

The Pont Du Gard is one of the biggest aqueducts of the Roman Empire. It was built from the year 38 until 52 by around 1000 workers. This bridge is a part of a 50km long aqueduct build to supply the city “Nemausus” – The current Nimes – with…

After a long drive (6h) we finally arrived at Castellane. This is a small village in the middle of the Alpes, and known for the “Lac du Castillion”. It’s also a place where you can do a lot of adventure’s like hiking, rafting, tubing and more.
