GOLE AURELIEN

The Park is nice enough for a walk but not something I would make the effort to see from a tourist perspective. The ruins are small and not a lot of information with them. The villa is okay but not amazing. We ended up leaving the tour early.

Never do you see a park in all of France like this you can just drive into! So there’s that. Then the aqueduct itself. So cool, so ahead of its time. A closer look got us talking about what a hurry they must have been in when they built it (old rocks boulder mashed together inside, vs exterior got tidier and nicer stones). Also the HUGE effort that went into building up the giant pillars-especially in one place you can see just how large the thing was, compared to the relatively narrow area designed to transport the water. Such care, so vital to promote its flow. In another place you can see tidy brick masonry from WW time-probably pretty close to how it actually looked back then in 1930s. “Well, it’s here, we may as well figure out how to use it, we can’t do this war without providing water for hospitals and military camps”—after seeing this you can see how politicians/generals/ engineers might have thought in that way.

Lovely park. Some interesting trees &the remains of the Roman Aqueduct were good to see. The tree hugger liked it very much!

Nice park with families. Eady to walk around. Psrk elsewhere in the neighbourhood. This time ot was yearly "Fête des plantes." Always a lot of people. Apart for plants and gardens there were workshops for children, food, animals etc. 3€

Lovely natural park, quite informal. Festival of plants on in April. Lots of things for children to make, all free. €3 entrance fee for adults.

Lovely park, kind of annoying that it closes at 6pm but other than that it's really great place to walk with the dog and kids and breathe some fresh air

Lovely park!

Really cool park. It's very big and nice to walk around
