Located next to both the Pont du Gard and the Gardon Gorges, Vers-Pont du Gard has been inhabited since Prehistoric times. The Romans certainly lived here. The first building in the current village was a monastery, followed by houses being built around the church. The village has important stone quarries which have been in use for a very long time. The Romans took stone from here to build the Pont du Gard. The village's economic activity is relatively industrial, notably with the exploitation of the stone quarries.
