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.
