In this week's edition, we're exploring what remains of the heritage left behind in France by the Romans. This brings us to the southern city of Nimes, which displays plenty of evidence of five centuries of Roman rule, including a beautifully preserved amphitheatre. We tell you more about the cultural and political heritage of the city known as the French Rome.

    Ca a beaucoup changer avec les années Nîmes, par rapport au taux de criminalité etc mais c'est tout de meme une belle ville avec beaucoup d'histoire et de culture.

    Ah, fair Nimes. As soon as I stepped out the station up that gorgeous wee alley of tumbling water and trees between Ave. Feucheres, leading up to Les Arenes, I knew I was in a spot to savour. It was July. The cicadas were providing that quintessential Midi soundtrack with their crazy buzzing, the buildings has that faded grandeur/shabby-chic look that France does like no other country on Earth (save Italy), and the general vibe was one of satisfied torpor in the summer sun. Sure, there’s not much to the place. To call it France’s Rome is to grossly insult the scale and richness of the Eternal City, but what there is, including, of course, the superbly preserved aforementioned Les Arenes and Maison Carree, is worth a day of anyone’s life.
