Le Colombier's location just 200m from the Pont du Gard car park means you save on bridge parking costs – the hotel has its own free car park and a bike garage. Rooms are simple but comfortable, there's a decent on-site restaurant (menus – fixed-price meals – €16 to €32), and it's very family-friendly, with a fenced swimming pool and a large garden.
