Activities & Novelties

Nîmes stands right in the heart of a region extending from Cévennes to Lubéron.

A historical landmark, it is laced with magnificent monuments from Roman times (Les Arènes (amphitheatre), Maison Carré (square house), Temple de Diane and the extraordinarily-beautiful de la Fontaine gardens, nestling at the foot of a hillside and a haven for the very picturesque bowling fanatics.

Fine buildings bordering the Fontaine banks testify to the city’s wealth.

Nîmes is also a crossroads leading to the Camargue region, still home to wild bulls and horses, and to the Mediterranean.

 It also leads to Provence 9just a few miles away) and to the beautifully preserved Cévennes hills
