About Nîmes

Nîmes, in southern France, is a Roman city with a superb amphitheatre, a well-preserved temple and a garden built around a spring.

Nîmes grew around a spring, where the Romans laid out a town in the first century BC. The Arènes, an amphitheatre among the best preserved in the Roman world, still hosts bullfights and concerts, and the Maison Carrée, a small temple with Corinthian columns, stands in a square opposite Norman Foster's glass-fronted Carré d'Art, a gallery of contemporary art.
