Nîmes-Pont-du-Gard station (French: Gare de Nîmes-Pont-du-Gard) is a French TGV and TER train station in the communes of Manduel and Redessan, near Nîmes, in Southern France. It opened on 15 December 2019 on the Contournement Nîmes – Montpellier high-speed railway line (LGV) and Tarascon–Sète-Ville line.

History

[edit ]

The name of the new station caused some confusion as it located some 12 km (7.4 mi) from Nîmes itself and 20 km (12.4 mi) from the Pont du Gard.^[1] After the project started in 2017, the station was opened on 15 December 2019 although no train operated during the first five days, due to a strike.^[2]

It was designed by AREP.^[3]
