Nîmes Arena

Highlight • Historical Site

The best preserved Roman amphitheater from the first century is really worth seeing. It used to seat 23,000 spectators.

Saint-Paul Church of Arles

Highlight • Religious Site

This neo-Romanesque church was built between 1835 and 1849 according to plans by the architect Charles-Auguste Questel. The approximately 62 meter high bell tower is impressive. The interior of the church featured traveling paintings by Hippolyte Flandrin, but the rose window is also beautiful to look at.

Maison Carrée (Roman Temple)

Highlight • Historical Site

Both the Parthenon and the Maison Carrée stand on a podium, emphasizing their importance as temples. The Parthenon is a Doric temple made of marble, while the Maison Carrée is a Roman temple, constructed primarily of limestone and designed in the Corinthian style.

Jardin de la Fontaine

Highlight • Natural

The Jardins de la Fontaine are one of the first public parks in Europe. The 15-hectare, enchantingly beautiful green area is a real retreat in the middle of Nîmes. In the lower part, a canal, pools with balusters on the edges, statues, shady benches and the scent of flax flowers invite you to stroll. Paths lead through the landscaped garden with cleverly arranged Mediterranean plants, "rock gardens" and views of the city to the Magne Tower in the upper part.
