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! FR: Français et aventurier dans l'âme, j'ai beaucoup voyagé (notamment sur le continent africain) avant de poser mes valises à Nîmes. 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 which is still in use today.
👉 Stroll around the Maison Carrée, the last French monument inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023
👉 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. Je porterai un béret noir ciglé du crocodile, emblème de la ville 😉

Bastien was a terrific guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and informative. We saw a lot of places we otherwise might not have found by ourselves. Bastien politely engaged with all the members of the tour group to ensure we got the most important information. Well worth it. Thank you Bastien.
