Southern France – Nimes (1)



An absolute treasure, the city of Nimes had just enough to keep us occupied and enchanted us with its beauty. Nimes is a Roman city that has 4 major attractions: the Masion Carree which now shows a 3D movie about the history of Nimes, the amphitheatre which had a fantastic audio guide describing the different gladiator fights, costumes, weapons, and history, the beautiful Jardins de la Fontaine with wonderful water features, plenty of shade, and a winding path that led to the Tour Magne a tower built in 19BC. We briefly visited Avignon as well and it reminded us of Lucca, Italy as it’s a city completely surrounded by a wall. See the pictures here.
