As a City of Art and History, Nîmes is the ideal destination for a cultural outing. Immerse yourself in history as you explore the streets, monuments and remains. A veritable treasure trove in the open air, Nîmes has preserved the traces of the populations that have succeeded it, giving it a unique personality. Admire the famous Maison Carrée with its elaborate columns, the Nîmes arenas, which host numerous events, shows and concerts, pass under the gates of the Roman walls and admire the facades of the superb town houses.

 

Be sure to visit the Carré d'Art, the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Musée de la Romanité before taking a break in the Jardins de la Fontaine. This park, popular with locals and visitors alike, was one of the first public gardens in Europe. It was created in the 18th century on the ancient site of the Source, where the Tour Magne and the Temple of Diana are located. Near Nîmes, the Pont du Gard is also a must-see.
