Arenes de Nimes

Contemporary of the Colosseum in Rome, the amphitheater of Nîmes is the best preserved amphitheater in the Roman world. The audio-guided tour, available in 10 languages, lets visitors experience the gladiator shows and life in Roman times. The "gladiator's quarter" presents the weapons and techniques of gladiatorial fights.

We saw a concert in this arena (Tears for Fears during their summer concert series) and it was AMAZING. Id love to go back and see another one. The setting is awesome.

We had a fantastic look around last week - a really knowledgeable guide who spoke excellent English and took a great deal of time to discuss horses with my granddaughter who is a very proficient and experienced dressage rider It's a absolute must place to visit if you are in the area even if you are not a Horsey person

before Christmas. Our son was able to do the stadium match-day tour prior to the evening match and loved seeing behind-the-scenes aspects of this incredible arena. The security to get in was comprehensive but it was done in a friendly manner. All lids from plastic bottles are confiscated both as you enter and when you buy them inside! Food options are typical stadium fare – not terribly appetising, but reasonably priced. You don’t have to wait too long for service. Unfortunately, we tried four different banking cards (both foreign and French banks) and could not purchase our food using them. Thank goodness we had some cash handy. The toilets were interesting – unlike my usual experience, the long queues were outside the Men’s room, rather than the Women’s, so many men just used the Women’s facilities! There wasn’t much room between rows of seats where we were located, so when people came in late it was uncomfortable letting them pass. Once the match started, the atmosphere was incredible. The active supporter areas are colourful and noisy – as much fun to watch as the actual game. Despite rain on our exit, the frenzied atmosphere continued in the streets. Allez l’OM!

Stade Mayol

Reviewed By 732petero - Canterbury, United Kingdom

This stadium seating about 14,000 is home to Toulon and one of the great stadiums to visit. While not in the realm of Stade de France, the atmosphere is unique and with 3 or 4 international players in the squad, is worth watching

The tour is excellent. We went on the English tour and were left impressed. Our Tour guide, Nais, clearly knew her stuff and was very polite and chatty about Olympique Lyonnais and football in general. The stadium is also very impressive and would recommend to anyone thinking of going.
