📱IG @Nîmes_walking_tour 📱 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!

⭐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...
