Destination

Welcome to Nîmes, a city in the heart of Provence, rich in history and culture. Famous for its Roman monuments, Nîmes is a real journey through time. Whether you’re an architecture buff or a keen walker, you’ll find plenty to delight you here.

Start your visit at the Arènes de Nîmes, a perfectly preserved Roman amphitheatre. This emblematic venue still hosts events and takes you back to the days of the gladiators. A few steps away, the Maison Carrée will surprise you with its elegance. This Roman temple is one of the best preserved in the world.

If you love green spaces, don’t miss the Jardins de la Fontaine. This magnificent park is ideal for a leisurely stroll. You’ll also find the Tour Magne, offering a breathtaking view of the city.

Nîmes also has a unique atmosphere. Lose yourself in the cobbled streets, discover the lively little squares and stop off at a café to sample the local specialities. The town is lively all year round, with its markets, festivals and sunny terraces.

To round off your stay in style, don’t miss the Pont du Gard, just a few kilometres from Nîmes. This masterpiece of Roman engineering is a must-see.
