Monuments to visit Nîmes

As early as 1743, the artery, which leaves the fountain of the Fountain to end the railway line, fell into désuétude. The avenue Jean-Jaurès was the ideal place for a walk. It's the ideal place for a walk. Launched in 2004, its redevelopment advances by segment and involves the projects of architect Designer Designer. After long work, which is very binding on the merchants and neighbours, a first tranche was opened in October 2010. According to a global plan to rédistribution traffic routes, the decrease in motor traffic with the adoption of semi-communal transit opens new spaces to passers-by. Bicycle paths, green spaces and pedestrian areas are favoured. In the central part, the parking lot is now underground and paid. Kiosks, benches and water jets give a very southern side of the Ramblas, while planted plants will not have to grow too much at the risk of breaking the perpective. Ancient nettle has been preserved and already, we see the great ambition of the future Champs-Elysées nimois: bring the people back to this historic axis.

This monumental fountain is the sculptor James Pradier. Dedicated to water, which accompanies the history of the city, the feminine figure represents Nimes, and the allegorical characters surrounding it symbolize the Roach, the Rhône, the fountain of Eure (the one that the Romans have captured to bring water to Nîmes by the famous aqueduct) and the fountain of Nîmes.

The Nîmes Arena is one of the city's most important cultural monuments. Built around 100 AD, they are considered the best-preserved amphitheatre of the Roman Empire. Unlike the Colosseum in Rome, the Nîmes Arena has been preserved and converted into a residential area, allowing visitors to explore its arena, stands, interior galleries and arcades. With a capacity of 24,000 spectators, the amphitheatre offers a unique experience for visitors. The galleries and staircases, known as "vomitories", ensure a smooth flow of visitors and prevent jostling. The Arènes de Nîmes is also home to an area dedicated to the life of gladiators and the history of the bull, as well as a gladiator's changing room. Visitors can choose between a self-guided tour with an audioguide or a guided tour in summer. A treasure hunt and a dramatized tour are also available.
