Nimes is probably most famous for its Roman history, and it has several very well preserved and stunning Roman sites, some right bang in the city center, like the impressive amphitheatre, and some just a short journey outside, like the unmistakeable Pont du Gard. However, surrounding this Roman wonders is a fine city in its own right. Nimes is a pleasant city to walk around, and apart from the Roman tourist attractions, it has a lovely old town center, and the delightful Jardins de la Fontaine, an 18th century park fed by graceful waterways on the northern edge of the city.
This city has to be one of France's premier attractions.
Things I Loved
The Amphitheater, the Pont du Gard and the excellent youth hostel.
Disappointments
Nothing in particular. The city is one of my favourites.

Interesting, I'm heading there next month, thanks for sharing. Cheers, Ian
An interesting look at Nimes, thank you. We found it very pleasant also, but could not get into the arena because it was closed for some bicycle event.
Recently got back from the Dordogne and it was great Nimes is now on my wish list
Thank you for your photos and positive comments about Nimes, France. I plan to visit there in a couple weeks and I will look for the Roman buidlings and the Jardins de la Fontaine and waterways :) Take Care, Todd
Nimes' Roman influence is remarkable. Thanks for the great tips. If it's not that far by train from Paris this is a great daytrip. I'm also impressed with your photos-really nice. Thanks.
Great page! Nimes seems really nice. I loved the pics and comments.
Nice page about an attractive town. I cycled through Nimes years ago, and am hoping to go back soon, maybe even this summer.
great tips, very helpful thanks.
Sounds like a genuinely interesting place. Which is the nearest major city to this one Tim?
Glad you had a good time in Nimes...we visited last year and had a blast!
