8 days in Nimes Itinerary

Nîmes has a rich history dating back to the Roman Empire, with a stunning coliseum that is second only to Rome's.

For shopping fun, head to Le Caviste de Maussane or CACN - Centre d'Art Contemporain de Nimes. Venture out of the city with trips to Avignon (Palais des Papes & Pont d'Avignon), Monastery Saint-Paul de Mausole (in Saint-Remy-de-Provence) and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (Anne Virlange Art Gallery & L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Market). The adventure continues: see where the action happens at Arenes de Nimes, explore the world behind art at Carrieres des Lumieres, glide peacefully along the water with Bureau des Moniteurs du Gard, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Abbaye Notre-Dame de Senanque.
