We stayed in Uzes in June and did a circular walk from Vers to the Pont du gard. We used the Western provence Sunflower guide from the landscape series.
ISBN - 1-85691-257-4
It is walk 7.
I think you shoudl be able to get a route map showing signposting from the local tourist offices.

This walk sounds like something we would be interested in. Wondered how far the walk was, and if its relatively gentle and suitable for a 24 week pregnant person?

The walk is graded as easy with ascents of little more than 100m / 330 feet overall. It is 4.3 miles and suggested time is 2 hours 10 minutes. That does not include time at the pont du gard sightseing and looking round the museum. We just did the walk one dat as the museum is shut Monday mornnings then drove back following day and spent a few hours looking round the museum. That would be a bit much in one day I suspect for someone who is 24 weeks pregnant - though I haven%26#39;t got any children so I am not the best person to ask regarding that.
Take plenty of water as it gets hot when you aren%26#39;t in the shade of the trees. it is best to set off earlier in the day for this reason too.
We thoroughoy enjoyed the walk, particularly on the way back as you walk past several overgrown remains of the orginal aquaduct. It wasn%26#39;t busy either which pleased us, though the pont du gard is swarming with tourists but does not feel overcrowded as there is plenty of space.
