Pont du Gard

Where to stay in Vers-Pont-du-Gard: the best neighbourhoods (2026)

The Pont du Gard is actually located in the municipality of Vers, which gave the site its name, with the entrance addressed on Route du Pont du Gard in Vers-Pont-du-Gard. However, the village itself only has one hotel and one campground within its borders.

The aqueduct is approached from two banks, and most lodging is concentrated on the other side in Remoulins. Your budget depends less on the room and more on your car, as walking and biking are free, while parking costs 9 EUR per day. Staying within 2 kilometres makes a real difference for every day of your trip.

Vers-Pont-du-Gard The village and the monument's riverbank

to reach the bridge via the trails, without getting back in the car

The Pont du Gard sits right in this commune, 1.6 kilometers from the village's only two places to stay. A review on Avygeo highlights what this sets up: hikes that approach the monument from above, lookout spots over the arches, and a quiet swimming spot right in the middle of peak season. The village itself has 1,696 residents. It has no train station, no main shopping street, and virtually no hotel selection.

Vers-Pont-du-Gard is closely tied to its access to the famous Pont du Gard, but it is also a prime area for hitting the trails and catching sweeping views of the aqueduct. During peak season, it works well for escaping the crowds and scouting out a quiet swimming hole. Staying into the evening when the day-trippers clear out is well worth it.

Remoulins, the other bank On the left bank of the Gardon, between the arches and exit 23

to stay closest to the arches and have the most options

Remoulins is another town on the left bank of the Gardon, and it handles the bulk of the stays. You will find more addresses here than in Vers, and they sit much closer to the arches. The riverside campground is 896 metres from the monument. The town also brings shops and restaurants that the neighboring village lacks. Exit 23 of the highway is just a few minutes away, which you can hear from certain rooms.

Castillon-du-Gard A hilltop village perched 3 kilometres from the monument

for staying in stone walls, in a quiet setting above the valley

Castillon-du-Gard is another nearby village, a stone settlement perched on a hill 3 kilometres from the monument. The narrow streets are quiet, and the views stretch across the Gardon valley and surrounding vineyards. One of the two 5-star hotels in the area is located here. On the flip side, the village offers almost no other lodging options and nothing at all for a tight budget.

Uzès, the town 9 kilometres away The first duchy of France, sitting to the northwest

for having a real town around you with choices across every price range

Uzès sits 9 kilometres from the village and 12 from the monument, serving as the only true town in the area. Its arcaded place aux Herbes hosts a Saturday market, the alleyways are lined with shops and restaurants, and you can find everything from 2-star to 5-star hotels. It suits travelers who want to see the monument without dedicating their entire stay to it. The downside is the distance, as every trip to the landmark requires driving back and forth.

Our tips for booking the right place

  • Parking, a real expense: The official Pont du Gard website makes it clear: access is open to all and free for pedestrians and cyclists. What you pay for is parking, at 9 EUR per car and per day, along with the museum and guided tours. A three-night stay with a parked car every day therefore adds up to a non-negligible cost. Staying less than 2 kilometres away and walking or biking completely eliminates it.
  • The hours that change the visit: The site and its parking lots are open from 8 AM to midnight all year long. Two reviews posted on Avygeo draw the same conclusion from these hours: arrive early in the morning to dodge the crowds, or stay late in the evening when the site empties out. A third points out that the aqueduct is illuminated on summer nights. Staying just a few minutes away makes these two time slots genuinely accessible.
  • The two banks and how to reach them: You can approach the aqueduct from the right bank on the Vers-Pont-du-Gard side, or from the left bank near Remoulins, with distinct road signs and a parking lot on each side. Choosing where to stay therefore means choosing your arrival bank. A review posted on Avygeo notes that you can also arrive by water in a canoe on the Gardon, an approach the road doesn't offer.
Where not to stay in Vers-Pont-du-Gard (honestly)
  • Booking in the village while expecting a wide selection. Vers-Pont-du-Gard has 1,696 residents and offers only one hotel and one campground. If both are fully booked, you will need to look in another town.
  • Getting a room in Uzès thinking you are staying close to the monument. The town is 12 kilometres from the Pont du Gard, and every visit adds a round trip by car. It is an excellent base for exploring the region, but a poor choice if you want to visit the site multiple times.
  • Confusing Vers-Pont-du-Gard with its neighbors. Remoulins, Castillon-du-Gard, Collias, and Uzès are four distinct towns, and each has its own hotels and local tourist tax. Check the exact municipality before you confirm your booking.

FAQ: where to stay in Vers-Pont-du-Gard

Where to stay right next to the Pont du Gard?
On the left bank, in Remoulins. Its riverside campground sits 896 metres from the monument and its hotel advertises a 10-minute walk. In the town of Vers, which actually hosts the site, the closest lodging is 1.6 kilometres away. The difference is minor on foot, but it is real.
Do you have to pay to see the Pont du Gard?
No for the monument itself. The official site states that access is open to everyone and free for pedestrians and cyclists. Parking, the museum, and guided tours are what cost money: expect 9 EUR per car per day for parking. The exhibition spaces are free for visitors under 18.
Where to stay on a budget near the Pont du Gard?
At a campground, and there is one on each side of the Gardon. The one in Vers borders the river, while the Remoulins campground is the closest to the arches. Both are the most economical options in the area, and either one lets you walk to the monument and skip the parking fee.
Where to stay with family near the Pont du Gard?
At one of the two campgrounds for the river, swimming, and open space. A review on Avygeo mentions a quiet swimming spot reachable via the trails from Vers, even in peak season. Families who prefer a room will find the hotel in Vers or the one in Remoulins, each featuring a pool and an on-site restaurant.
Do you need a car to stay in Vers-Pont-du-Gard?
No train station serves the town, and no public transit runs to the site from its streets. A car or a bike is necessary for anything beyond the monument itself, which you reach on foot via the trails. From Uzès or Castillon-du-Gard, a car becomes essential.
How much does a night cost near the Pont du Gard?
None of the properties in this guide publish their rates, neither on their websites nor through the tourist office. This guide prefers to state that upfront rather than guess an unverified figure. What is published, however, are the site fees: 9 EUR for parking per car per day, 6 EUR for the museum and exhibition spaces bundled with parking, and 13 EUR for the top-tier guided tour. Minors enter the exhibition spaces for free.
