What you can expect
Ready to take a leap back in time? Head to the Tour Magne, the ancient watchtower that has overlooked the city for more than 2,000 years.
Shall we head back down? We're heading for the Jardins de la Fontaine, a true haven of peace where, in the past, the local inhabitants came to pray to the god Nemausus. Today, there are no more animal sacrifices, but the atmosphere remains sacred. Take the opportunity to make a wish… you never know!
Your next stop is the mysterious Temple of Diana. Temple? Library? Book club? Historians disagree, but one thing is certain: this ruined site has stories to tell.
Next stop: the Maison Carrée! Once dedicated to the sons of Augustus, today it’s dedicated to… your perfect selfie in front of one of the best-preserved Roman temples in the world.
A grand finale: the Amphitheatre of Nîmes! Here, there are no gladiators or hungry lions (phew!), but an amphitheatre that has witnessed centuries of battles, markets, and even families sitting in the stands. Every stone here is steeped in history…
⏳ Just 1.5 hours, and you'll be an expert on Nemausus! A short but intense tour to transport you back to Roman times, led by a passionate guide and enriched with some fascinating anecdotes.
