Nîmes, however you want it.

Welcome to Nîmes, one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Europe! This city of spring, named after the Roman God Nemausus, is a perfect weekend destination. With its rich architectural heritage, proximity to the Mediterranean and Provence, and exciting restaurants, Nîmes has everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

The Romans left their mark on Nîmes, turning a small Gallic village into a thriving city. Today, you can still see their legacy in the many Roman ruins, including the Pont du Gard aqueduct and the Maison Carée temple, considered the best-preserved Roman temple in the Mediterranean.

Nîmes has had a tumultuous history, from losing much of its Roman shine to being affected by religious wars. However, the city has bounced back and is now a well-heeled destination with a strong focus on tourism. The city is being regenerated, with a keen interest in preserving its Roman heritage.

Don't miss out on visiting Carré d´Art, an interesting landmark designed by accomplished architects. And did you know that the word "Denim" has its birthplace in Nîmes? This special fabric originated here and became known as "de Nimes".
