    • Agrippa and Augustus (Octavian) were the best mates. Agrippa took Augustus' daughter Julia as his wife after divorcing a niece of Augustus. One of Agrippa's five children by Julia, Agrippina the Elder, was the mother of one emperor (Caligula) and the grandmother of another (Nero).
    The crocodile chained to a palm is the symbol of Nīmes.

    • The monument of Alphonse Daudet (born in Nīmes) can be found at the square de la Couronne. The famous writer gives the cold shoulder to the Hotel du Midi et de la Poste, which served as love nest for Guillaume Apollinaire and the legendary Lou.
