Activity itinerary
Quai de la Fontaine (Pass by)
Here you are by the Canal de la Fontaine, which takes you straight to the gardens of the same name!

This is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world, and I don’t mince words when I tell you this! The Jardins de la Fontaine have been ranked in the top 150 most beautiful gardens in the world.
Temple de Diane (Pass by)
It’s impossible not to pass this real Roman vestige, located in the heart of the Fountain Gardens!
Sanctuaire de la Fontaine (Pass by)
Let's stop here for a while. You are between the two pools of the gardens, which constitute the original source of Nîmes.
Tour Magne (Pass by)
A remarkable remnant of the precinct that surrounded the city of Nîmes, the Magne Tower overlooks the Fountain Gardens and bears witness to the rich historical past of what is known as French Rome.
Castellum Aquae (Pass by)
Here are the remains of the castellum that stands before you, in the middle of the street and close to the University of Nimes.
Nimes (Pass by)
Take a look on your left: here you have an interesting street art spot.
Le Spot (Pass by)
Here you are in front of a building that has hosted a hybrid and alternative place since 2013: the Spot. It is here that the association of the same name was established, with the aim of promoting alternative cultures.
Eglise Sainte-Baudile (Pass by)
The magnificent Saint-Baudile church, built between 1867 and 1877, is far from being as old as most of the monuments of Nîmes.
La Porte Auguste (Pass by)
A true jewel of the Nimes heritage, here is the door of Augustus! Also called the Porte d’Arles, it represents a very old vestige of the enclosure that surrounded the city in Roman times: it dates back to the 1st century BC. C. !
Place du Grand Temple (Pass by)
This building is the Great Temple of Dominicans. It was built between 1714 and 1736, as a church belonging to Catholic religious from the Order of Preachers, founded in 1215.
Chapelle des Jésuites (Pass by)
This is the Jesuit chapel, built at the end of the 17th century.
Eglise Sainte-Perpetue et Sainte-Felicite de Nimes (Pass by)
Built during the Second Empire, the church of Sainte-Perpetue and Sainte-Félicité has an eclectic style typical of this period. It took about 12 years to complete.
Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle (Pass by)
Built in the second half of the 16th century, the Charles de Gaulle esplanade was destined to become a place devoted to artillery exercises.
Arenes de Nimes (Pass by)
Here you are in front of the best preserved Roman amphitheatre in the world! More than 23,000 spectators could watch gladiatorial battles here from the 1st century!
Musee de la Romanite (Pass by)
Continuing on Place des Arenas, we will arrive in front of the imposing Museum of Romanity, which is right in front of you.
Place du Marché (Pass by)
It’s a charming place, don’t you think? Take a look at the palm tree in its centre: it is one of the two symbols of the city of Nimes!
Mairie de Nîmes (Pass by)
Here you are in front of the City Inn of Nimes. Originally, this building housed the Royal Treasury.
Écusson (Pass by)
We are currently in the heart of the historic center of Nîmes, called l’Ecusson because of its shape which, if you look on a map, actually looks like a crest!

Les Halles de Nîmes (Pass by)
Review to the gourmets! The halls of Nîmes offer a hundred stalls where merchants will be happy to offer their local products.
Little Temple of Nîmes — United Protestant Church of France (Pass by)
The Little Temple of Nimes, has nothing to do with the Great Temple of Dominicans. It is called Small Temple to differentiate it from the Great Temple of Calade, which was in Nimes until 1686, but which was destroyed.
La Maison Carree (Pass by)
Another vestige of the Roman period, and not the least! After the best preserved Roman arenas in the world, here is the only temple in the ancient world completely preserved!
