Tour description
Welcome to Nîmes, a gem in the south of France known as the French Rome. Small, elegant, sunny, and full of life. You'll see.
Come and enjoy this city full of surprises. Very close to Montpellier. And then stay to enjoy its Christmas market 🙂
In this tour, guided by a local, we will travel through Roman grandeur, but also through contemporary life, discovering the monuments, legends, and flavors that make Nîmes a unique city.
We will start next to the Fontaine Pradier, a symbol of the city and a perfect point to talk about its origins, its legends, and its Mediterranean identity.
We will walk among Gothic churches, Roman gates, markets, and charming little streets: from the Porte d’Auguste to the majestic Maison Carrée, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Did you know that one of the most famous garments in the world was born here? I will tell you which one and why its name is forever linked to this city.
Of course, we will stop at traditional boutiques where we will evoke the most typical flavors of the local cuisine: among others, Le Petit Pâté Nîmois or the brandade de morue.
Our walk will take us through charming corners that only locals know, but also the Jardin de la Fontaine, the enigmatic Temple of Diana, or the imposing Arenas of Nîmes, where we will relive the era of the gladiators.
And yes, you will also discover the mystery of the crocodile, the emblem of Nîmes. Why does it appear in all its symbols?
Do you know the international stars that have passed through the city? I will also tell you about them and the luxurious hotel where they stay, which we will also pass by.
