We saw a concert in this arena (Tears for Fears during their summer concert series) and it was AMAZING. Id love to go back and see another one. The setting is awesome.

Jardins de la Fontaine are really beautiful gardens. There are many water features, ponds and canals, as well as some remains from the Roman times, and there is a huge area you can wander around and enjoy and just relax. The garden was constructed sometime in the 17th century.
5. Tour Magne

The Tour Magne, i.e. the Great Tower, is the only tower left standing from the Roman city walls. The top of the tower of 140 steps provides a striking panoramic view of Nimes.
Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
Tour Magne dates to the time of Roman emperor Augustus. In fact it was already built by then, and he just doubled it in size and incorporated it into the defensive walls of the city. According to information provided on site, this Magne Tower was the highest of some 80 towers that were part of the city's defensive walls. The wall surrounding the city was built in the year AD 16, and was 7 km long. In reality this wall was more of a symbol than an actual defence, as it existed as a show of strength on the part of the Roman empire. The Tower is a great point from which to get some magnificent, panoramic views of the city. The steps leading to the top are narrow and a bit difficult to negotiate. Highly recommended.

I visited this beautiful square which isn’t too far of a walk from the train station. It’s near the amphitheater too. The main fountain is ornate and is surrounded by shops and cafes. There were lovely gardened areas and a monoprix.
