Discover the city of Nîmes, a place steeped in Roman history. Thanks to its status as a Roman colony, Nîmes thrived under the reign of Augustus from the 1st century BC. This rich and flourishing city fostered Roman ingenuity, still visible today through its iconic monuments.
The spectacular Pont du Gard was part of a 50-kilometer-long aqueduct that showcases the remarkable engineering skills of the Romans. Water was transported from the Fontaine de l'Eure near Uzès to the Castellum divisium, a circular basin with a diameter of 6 meters.
Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the gladiators by visiting the Arènes de Nîmes, perfectly preserved and still used today for shows, summer music concerts during the Nîmes Festival, and bullfights that are highly popular during the Férias.
The Maison Carrée is a perfectly preserved Roman temple, along with the Temple of Diana, nestled in the beautiful Jardins de la Fontaine. These monuments reflect the opulence of the Roman era and the importance of ancient religion.
The medieval period also left its mark with the Cathédrale Notre-Dame et Saint-Castor. Subsequent centuries have also given the city magnificent private mansions built by the local nobility and wealthy bourgeoisie.
The Carré d'Art is a space dedicated to contemporary art, housing captivating exhibitions in a remarkable modern building, offering a striking contrast with the city's ancient past.
The famous Ferias de Nîmes, including the Pentecost Feria, one of the largest in Europe, attract millions of visitors every year with its lively bodegas, bullfights, and festive traditions.
The Tour Magne, a remnant of the Roman walls, offers a panoramic view of the city, and the Jardins de la Fontaine, an exceptional park developed around ancient ruins, is perfect for walking and relaxation.
