General presentation
Nîmes et Pont du Gard
Roman heritage, garrigue, villages, rivers and great ancient aqueduct.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Archaeological site
Arènes de Nîmes
The Nîmes Arenas impose a clear monumentality from the front, but their interest is really revealed by observing the frame of the stands and the stone details. A visit in the morning avoids over-surgence and makes reading more accurate.
Archaeological site
Maison Carrée
The Maison Carrée The movement of light gives important contrasts, especially on the front lines. A calm rhythm makes the whole more coherent.
Garden
Jardins de la Fontaine
The Jardins de la Fontaine is a transitional space between town and nature, with water, aisles, fountains and views that promote slow walking. The charm comes from the variation between open areas and more framed areas. In the morning, the colours are often more balanced.
City
Uzès
Uzès combines historical architecture with a very human neighborhood course, ideal for a gradual discovery by streets and secondary passages. The place becomes more sensitive when you leave the main axes and you observe the details of shade and matter. An hour of end of day gives beautiful contrasts.
