Nîmes: Roman Majesty and Southern Charm

Nîmes features some of the best-preserved Roman architecture in Europe, centered around the Maison Carrée temple and the ancient gates of Porte d’Auguste and Porte de France. The city’s history extends through the Middle Ages at the Cathédrale Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Castor to the 18th-century Jardins de la Fontaine, built around the Roman sanctuary of Nemausus. Modern additions like the Musée de la Romanité contrast with the neoclassical Palais de Justice and the textile-focused Musée du Vieux Nîmes, housed in the former Bishop's Palace.
