About 25km west of Nimes, off the Sommieres road out of Lunel and close to the A9 autoroute , the Roman Via Domitia crosses the vineyards from the village of Gallargues to the bank of the River Vidourle, where one isolated arch of the original Roman bridge remains. On the west bank, a fine stretch of the old cobbled way is visible climbing the slopes of the former Roman settlement of Ambrussum , a fortified staging post on the road. From the top of the hill you can look down on the modern international traffic still passing the same way, on the autoroute and parallel rail line.
