Be sure to have enough gas in the tank, because Montpellier is well worth a detour. Situated 40 miles from Vers-Pont-du-Gard, it has some fantastic attractions, such as Comedy Square and Fabre Museum. Get ready to start racking up those miles, because Cours Mirabeau and Place des Precheurs are also a rewarding road trip. You’ll find these fine sights in Aix-en-Provence, 55 miles away.
