Nîmes

Nîmes and its past as a Roman city… More than 2000 years of history make up the cultural wealth of Nîmes. Exceptional sites that are wonderfully preserved open the gates of its Roman magnificence. Nîmes is proud of its past: the famous Amphitheatre, the Maison Carrée, the Tour Magne and the Porta Augusta… It is also proud of its present and of its cultural scene: since 1952, it has organised the Pentecôte fair, the most important bullfighting event at the Hexagone; and since 1978 the Feria des Vendanges, which takes place on the third Friday, Saturday and Sunday in September, closing the bullfighting season and is more spontaneous and family-orientated than its older sister the Pentecôte. Every summer, there are many concerts at the Amphitheatre, which brings another dimension to musical performances.
