Nîmes is located in the Languedoc Roussillon, near the border with Provence. It was an important outpost of the Roman Empire, and the city's culture is a splendid mixture of the two regions. It is famous for its influence in Roman times and possesses one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters, the Arena of Nîmes, a double-tiered circa-70 A.D. amphitheater that is still in use for concerts and bullfights. Both the white limestone Roman temple, Maison Carrée, and the Pont du Gard tri-level aqueduct are around 2,000 years old. The city has also a touch of Pamplona (Spain) in the festivals of the bullfights at the arena. At night, the bodegas are usually filled with students drinking sangría and listening to the sounds of flamenco.
A perfect combination of charming cities across France with this unique opportunity to explore on your own with a rental car; Begin in Bordeaux (one of the world`s most important wine regions), before heading to Toulouse, Nimes and Nice (capital and gateway to the Riviera, with its brilliant sunshine and relaxed living).
