The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct that crosses the Gardon River near the town of Vers-Pont-du-Gard in southern France. The Pont du Gard, built as three tiers of archways to bring water to the city of Nîmes, is the highest of all elevated Roman aqueducts, and one of the best preserved. It was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 because of its historical importance. The aqueduct bridge is part of the Nîmes aqueduct, a 50-kilometre system built in the first century AD to carry water from a spring at Uzès to the Roman colony of Nemausus .

Histoire de la mine à Trets

Dès le XVe siècle, les habitants de Trets constatèrent que les pierres noires qu’ils grattaient (le lignite),s’enflammaient et pouvaient chauffer les chaumières, mieux et plus longtemps que le bois. Ainsi commence l’histoire des mineurs paysans de Trets, qui alla jusqu’au XXe siècle (fermeture le 31 décembre 1935).

L’exploitation di lignite va s’intensifier et faire la prospérité du village et ce, pour deux raisons : d’une part la mine recrutait sur place, et d’autre part, de nombreux mineurs ont conservé quelques lopins de terre, ainsi ces derniers pouvaient délaisser la mine pour se livrer aux travaux des champs.

Par ailleurs, les autorités impériales tenaient compte de cette réalité, le sous-préfet d’Aix indique que : « Les mineurs ont cessé le travail en promettant de revenir ensuite à la mine » et explique cette promesse : « L’administration des mines assure qu’elle est bien aise de laisser les ouvriers vaquer à leurs cultures ».

Le lignite affleurait le long des collines, au sud du village, notamment au quartier des Reynauds sous le hameau de Kirbon.
