SQUARE DE LA COURONNE - ESPLANADE
Read moreWe went through it on a daily basis and we did not even see it. Normal, this square of the Crown, which was a real place of life for our grandparents, has experienced the sinister age of the Decrepitness of the Grand Hôtel du Midi. At the end of 2008, the large, successful renovation site of the neighbourhood was finally completed, and the walkers returned to sit on the square. Today, the new restaurants, bars, art galleries, gym, hotels give a real life to this well-rehabilitated neighbourhood. Nearby, the Esplanade still under Restoration at the time we print it is expected to recover its beautiful green face in 2012. The large fountain sculpture of white marble is a pleasure. Sitting in his center, a statue of women headed by a Maison Carrée is a work by James Pradier (1845), grand prix Rome. This majestic victory seems to welcome the traveller upon arrival in Nîmes station. At its side, two naiad represent the source Nemausus and the fountain of Eure, while the two giants, representations of the Rhône and Du, symbolize the powerful strength of the rivers and rivers of the territory.

37 BEC-DE-LIEVRE STREET
Read moreUnusual, this address that hosts some kind of Nîmois Horse factor. The sculpted facade, carved, sculpted, draws strange shapes covered with mosaics where there is a woman's face here, an animal. A text in a niche drawn from Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile preached «be human, that is your first duty». And it is true that this artistic reconstruction that moved to the roof assault of which it changes the contours gives a share of humanity to the anonymity and monotony of facades. Pieces of ceramics sometimes reveal their old function, fragment of bowl, plates, shapes in forms, which come together as to highlight the landforms. On window support, some plastic bags containing dishwashers debris, deposited there by passers-by, neighbors, admiring and anxious to see the artist continue his work.

Cabrespine enjoys an exceptional dynamic, by the municipality that restores, develops and enhances the village, its heritage and its history. Water is thus ubiquitous in Cabrespine: ancient wash, watering, fountain recalls the essential role of water that would spread the giant gulf of the village (see the "Enlarge" section), known across borders.
