Nimes Travel Guide

Nîmes, the ancient Nemausus, is a great place to view some of the world's finest Roman remains. The city grew to prominence during the reign of Caesar Augustus (27 B.C.-A.D. 14). Today it possesses one of the best preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world and a near-perfect Roman temple. The city of 135,000 is more like Provence than Languedoc, and there's a touch of Pamplona (Spain) here in the festivals of the corridas (bullfights) at the arena. The Spanish image is even stronger at night, when the bodegas fill, usually with students drinking sangria and listening to the sounds of flamenco. Read More
