What to visit in Nîmes?

An important landmark monument of the city of Nîmes is the Maison Carrée, a superb late 1st century Roman temple with columns surmounted by Corinthian capitals. In front of the Maison Carrée stands the Carré d'Art, a modern building that houses a museum of Contemporary Art. The city of Nîmes also has a Fine Arts Museum in which French and foreign paintings from the 14th to the 19th century are on display.
In addition to these attractions, there is the inevitable discovery of the Fountain Garden, a wonderful romantic park, classified as a Remarkable Garden, built in the 18th century around the source of Nemausus and the ancient remains of the Temple of Diana and the Magne Tower. A relaxing walk through this area reveals a French-style garden in the lower part, and a succession of Mediterranean plants, pines and cedars in the upper part. From the Magne Tower, at the top of Mount Cavalier, the view of the city's rooftops is superb!
Before leaving the capital of the Gard, don't forget to take a walk through the picturesque streets of the old town and have a drink on one of the pretty squares, such as the Place du Marché, the Place aux Herbes or the Place de l'Horloge.
In terms of events, the Pentecost Fair, in May, is a major five-day festive event during which the bull is king. In addition to its bullfights, the Feria de Nîmes is also an opportunity to celebrate with music, to the rhythm of the bandas, in the streets of the city center!
