  • Built to honour Marcus Agrippa: La Maison Carrée Thomas Jefferson was so impressed by it during his visit in 1787, that he built a copy, the State Capitol in Richmond, Virginia.

  • Je te salue au loin, belle rose, ō tour Magne !
    La Tour Magne tournait sur sa colline laurée
    Et dansait lentement, lentement s'obombrait
    Tandis que les amants descendaient la colline
    La tour dansait lentement comme une sarrazine.
    Apollinaire, Guillaume - lettre à Lou

  • Temple de Diane
    Elle dit que notre histoire
    N'aura pas de lendemain
    C'est tant mieux si elle part
    Elle n'aimait pas mon chien

  • Le Castellum divisorum
    is a distribution tank, set in the rock from which pipes ran to the monuments and public fontains. It is the point of arrival of the aqueduct in Nīmes. It can be found near the University Vauban, outside of the town centre. Apart from the historic importance not really spectacular in my opinion.

  • Arenes
    The Arena in Nimes is as beautiful as the most famous classical monuments in Italy. I did not know that the South of France possessed such magnificent relics. The Maison Carreé is a splendid replica of the Temple of Theseus in Athens and Rome has nothing better preserved.

  • The sacred stream of the protecting Gaulish god Nemausus, associated with the Springs of Nîmes, who gave his name to the city.
