Located in the beautiful region of Provence, the Pont du Gard, which means bridge over the River Gard, is part of an ancient Roman aqueduct built nearly 2,000 years ago to transport water to the Roman city of Nemausus, now called Nimes.  There is a mysterious engraving on the Pont du Gard, which appears to represent a rabbit or some type of animal.  It is a symbol Romans often etched on their constructions in the belief that it would ward off evil spirits.  The engravings and its location on the aqueduct are impossible for even some locals to find.

Although more often travel to Paris for it’s museums and sights than for it’s nightlife, there are some big nights out to be found int eh ‘city of light’. The Latin Quarter, Bastille and the Montmarte/Moulan Rouge district along the Avenue de Clichy provides some great venues for those seeking nightlife, 7 nights a week while the Champs-Elysees is home to Le Queen and Man Ray. More than enough to keep any European party animal occupied until the sun comes up.  If you are seeking something slower paced, there are also several jazz clubs, pubs and cafes.
