Located between the sea and the Cevennes hills, Nîmes is one of the most attractive towns in Mediterranean France. The city was established by the Romans, on the edge of the Mediterranean plain, some twenty-five miles inland from the sea; and to this day, Nimes has the finest collection of Roman remains in France.
The area round Nimes offers plenty in the way of classical remains including the Roman Arena at Arles, and the magnificent Roman amphitheatre and triumphal arch at Orange.
Aside from its Roman remains, Nimes is worth visiting for its attractive old town and gardens, as well as its ideal location for discovering the Cevennes national park to the North or the renowned wetlands of the Camargue to the South – not to mention the large number of historic sites and other delights to be discovered in this part of Mediterranean France.
Today the tourist industry brings increased wealth to the city and Nîmes is an excellent base from which to visit the Carmargue and the Mediterranean coast being only 45 minutes drive away.
