Nīmes Travel Forum

Hi!
My name is Esteban. I from Costa Rica. In February I will be in Nimes, and I would like to know all about Nimes, so I would greatly appreciate that help me with different locations to visit, and activities that I can do in Nimes, and also about the night partys. By the way, I only speak Spanish and a little bit English.
Thanks

Nimes has wonderful examples of Roman architecture that make it a worthwhile destination. Perhaps the best place to find specific information is here:

In spite of this region's proximity to Spain, I have heard more Spanish spoken in Tokyo than I have heard in the south of France.

You should also look at the VT Nimes pages (I have one), which will give you a lot of information and tips. Use the searchbox top right of this page to find them.

Nies is a pleasant enough place with, as mentioned, some excellent Roman remains. You will, I think, have to learn to speak French whilst you are there although most people speak at least a little English.

You can easily take the train from Nimes to visit other towns, such as Avignon. www.sncf.com will give you times and fares.

Nimes is very nice, you will enjoy it. No tendras problemas Esteban, si necesitas ayuda me escribes en espańol en vt.

you see the Arenes romains, tour magna, and maison carrée all from Romans times.
visit the Musée des Cultures Taurines, all about bullfighting but in FRance they do not killed the bull. Anothe'r interestin museum is the Musée du Vieux Nīmes , museum of old nimes.

By the way, Nimes is where we get the word denim for the making of jeans. the textile in the old days was created here, since it came from DE NIMES in French and was juxtapose a DENIM.
