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. La Maison Carree
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 2,560 reviews
The Maison Carree in Nimes is the only Roman ancient temple completely preserved. The inspiration for the design of the Maison Carree came from the temples of Apollo and Mars Ultor in Rome. Inside, you will discover a 23 minutes film "Nemausus, the birth of Nimes" which explains how Nimes became a roman city and shows the construction of the main roman sights of the city (Arena, Maison Carree, Tour Magne).

Wonderfully preserved treasure of the Roman Empire. Beautifully lit up at night, a place surrounded by cafes and bars, so one can have an aperativo and enjoy this amazing ancient beauty. The visit inside consists mostly of a film which is well worth seeing, and is heartily recommended to be done after visiting the amazing Romanite museum next to the arena. The film would make a lot more sense then. It is included in fantastic value Nimes Pass - €17 full price adult ticket, usual European discounts also apply. The Nimes Pass is amazingly good value, as it includes the antiquities Musee de la Romanite, Nimes Arena, Magne Tower in Jardin de la Fointaine with its fab panorama view, and this, La Maison Carree.

Beautiful Cathedrale of great historical interest - narthex dating from 12th century recently restored and Grandes Portes which are gold leafed and add a dramatic effect both inside and out. Be sure to continue to the back of the church to view the Baroque Chapel of the Rosary (light switch on the right). Then take a look at the close-up photos of the frieze (on the wall next to the Sacristy) parts of which are as old as the church. Then when you leave turn around and look up at this very impressive representation of the bible!

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.
