When to go to Nîmes?
Roman stone is simply part of the street plan here. The amphitheatre still fills for concerts, and the Maison Carrée keeps the clean lines of a temple among ordinary shopfronts. The Jardins de la Fontaine climb in shaded terraces towards the Tour Magne and its view over the tiled roofs, while a short drive away the Pont du Gard carries its tiers of arches across the river.
