Standing tall and proud just west of Avignon and Arles, Nîmes is a sizeable Roman town saturated in historical and cultural abundance. There are numerous ancient relics to visit, such as the old tunnels of the Roman Arena of Nîmes, and the Maison Carrée, one of the best-preserved Roman temples in Provence. Nearby, you can visit the massive Jardins de la Fontaine and the Roman tower Tour Magne. Visit the town hall to see centuries-old stuffed crocodiles hanging from the ceiling, and take a stroll through the old Roman road 'Via Domitia'. Release your inner Roman as you dine in one of the cafes in the town centre, surrounded by great Roman architecture.
