Jardins de la Fontaine are really beautiful gardens. There are many water features, ponds and canals, as well as some remains from the Roman times, and there is a huge area you can wander around and enjoy and just relax. The garden was constructed sometime in the 17th century.

The best food of Nîmes is to found, bought and eaten from here! Dream of living the French lifestyle? Your heaven is here! We LOVE this indoor market - which offers local delicacies from fruit, cheese, breads, meats and seafoods, and even local olive oils (which we bought!) There’s even a little cafe located within the market that appears to be popular with the locals!

9. Castellum Aquae

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
The Castellum Aquae is an important archaeological site. It is very small and very difficult to find (as it was for us!), but it also symbolises the ingenuity of ancient Roman engineering. This spot was connected through special pipes to the Pont Du Gard Aqueduct which was 50 km away.It carried water for the city. This specific point, Castellum Aquae, was the end of the line point, the distribution point, from which the water was distributed through lead pipes to the city. Today there is not much left from the original works, but what remains is quite useful in telling us about life in ancient times. It is worth the effort and time. You can see it from the pavement and you are only a couple of metres away from it. Free to see.
10. Cathedrale Notre-Dame-Et-Saint-Castor de Nimes
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 173 reviews
Reviewed By marthanettie - Nimes, France
Beautiful Cathedrale of great historical interest - narthex dating from 12th century recently restored and Grandes Portes which are gold leafed and add a dramatic effect both inside and out. Be sure to continue to the back of the church to view the Baroque Chapel of the Rosary (light switch on the right). Then take a look at the close-up photos of the frieze (on the wall next to the Sacristy) parts of which are as old as the church. Then when you leave turn around and look up at this very impressive representation of the bible!
