History
Between Nîmes and Ambrussum, the Via Domitia crossed the Rhôny on a bridge. A fort was built beside this bridge to secure the crossing and collect tolls. The historic crossing of the Rhôny developed from a ford into a masonry footbridge, later into a floodable bridge, and finally into a bridge spanning the river.
Water and Routes
In the plain of Codognan, the Rhôny divides into several branches. The Rhôny and its meanders once supplied people and animals with water, provided motive power, and contributed to the fertilisation and irrigation of the soil along their course.
On the GR® Chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, the route crosses the RN 113, then continues via the Rue des Mas and subsequently via the Rue de la Védière.
