EN: French and adventurer at heart, I travelled a lot (especially on the African continent) before settling in Nîmes. Passionate about history, I naturally fell in love with a region proud of its multiple identities (Roman, Camargue, Spanish...) and with Nîmes, which is called French Rome. It is with pleasure that I will help you discover this city, dynamic, anchored in its territory, and much more than an ordinary museum city!

Passionné d'histoire, je suis naturellement tombé amoureux d'une région fière de ses multiples identités (romaine, camarguaise, espagnole...) et de Nîmes qu'on appelle la Rome française. C'est avec plaisir que je vous ferai découvrir cette ville, dynamique, ancrée dans son territoire et bien plus qu'une ville-musée ordinaire !

Tour description

EN:

⭐Exclusive guided tour ⭐ Nîmes the French Rome, between tradition and modernity
 
In love with the city of Nîmes, I propose you a 2H walking tour to discover the most emblematic monuments of the French Rome. Between tradition and modernity, embark on the discovery of a city proud of its two thousand year old heritage:

👉 Marvel at the Roman amphitheater is still in use today.
👉 Stroll around the Maison Carrée, a UNESCO World Heritage candidate for the 2023 session.
👉 Observe the Tour Magne, a rare vestige of a Gallic Nîmes overlooking the Jardins de la Fontaine, the cradle of life in the area.

In addition to this unavoidable triptych, you will discover the places that are dear to the people of Nîmes and that make it much more than a museum town: walking through the pedestrian streets of the city, discovering the secret squares that the locals love, sharing good addresses to discover the local specialities and the warm atmosphere of a city with a Hispanic flavour...

    The meeting point is at the Pradier fountain in the centre of the Charles de Gaulle esplanade. The esplanade is easily accessible on foot from the Gare Nîmes centre: just walk down Avenue Feuchères towards the Arènes. I will wear a black beret with the crocodile, the emblem of the city 😉 // Le point de rdv a lieu à la fontaine Pradier au centre de l'esplanade Charles de Gaulle. L'esplanade est facilement accessible à pied depuis la Gare Nîmes centre : il suffit de descendre l'avenue Feuchères en direction des Arènes.

We were very pleasantly surprised. Bastien was very informative , going to the trouble of showing us pictures of what the sites originally looked like. He took great care in designing a route for that time. My husband and I were very happy.
