The Gardon River, also known as the Gard, is a scenic waterway in southern France that flows through the Gard department before joining the Rhône. Known for its clear waters, it offers several swimming spots, especially during the warm summer months when water temperatures can range between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F).

One of the most popular swimming areas on the Gardon is near the iconic Pont du Gard, a stunning ancient Roman aqueduct.
