NIMES was colonised by the Romans in the 1st Century.

Important remains of the Roman Empire can still be seen here today. These include the splendid Amphitheatre, the Maison Carrée Temple and the nearby Pon du Gard Aquaduct.

This is a vibrant town with much new architecture as well as the old and plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from.

The Spanish influence is also evident with the bullfighting ( which takes place in the old Amphitheatre) and the many Tapas Bars.
