The “Arènes de Nîmes” date back to the end of the 1st century AD and is a perfect illustration of the degree of perfection attained by Roman engineers in designing and constructing this type of extremely complex building. “Arènes de Nîmes” are the best-preserved Amphitheatre from Roman times. Visitors can discover two new areas reserved for gladiators and bull fighting. Open to visit 7 days a week (except during the ferias).

The Maison Carree in Nimes is the only Roman ancient temple completely preserved. The inspiration for the design of the Maison Carree came from the temples of Apollo and Mars Ultor in Rome. Inside the Maison Carree, the multimedia spectacle plunges the visitor into Nimes' heroic past thanks to the usage of the most cutting-edge resources. This is an experience that transports the visitor back into the very heart of the ancient town.
