Russan - Sainte Anastasie

Yet another walk along a section of the Gardon River, a little to the north of Nîmes. This walk starts in the village of Russan (about 10 km upstream from the walk at La Baume a few weeks ago).

…the bridge across the Gardon, with Russan on the far bank.

The bridge in the upper left corner of the map, with the walk beginning on the edge of the village (total about 5 or 6 km)

A few hundred metres outside the village, looking back to the bridge

The bridge is just visible in the distance on the left

In the bottom right of the image - the river is still flowing, but this is one of the many sections of the Gardon where much of the water takes a subterranean route. In times of high flow, the entire river appears ‘normal’ !
