Nîmes brings together two thousand years of architecture in one view. As you walk, you pass from the Roman amphitheater of the first century to the glass façade of the Carré d'Art, built in the 1990s. The Maison Carrée, an ancient temple with Corinthian columns, faces this contemporary art museum in a striking contrast. The Jardins de la Fontaine combine Roman ruins with 18th-century landscaping, with terraces, pools, and shaded paths. The city offers many great spots for photos. From the Tour Magne, you can see the rooftops and the surrounding countryside. The central squares, like Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle, line with plane trees and fountains. The Porte Auguste marks the old city entrance along the Roman road. Every street and corner reveals a piece of history or an architectural detail that shows how Nîmes grew, changed, and kept its past alive.
