Nimes

We spent some time in Nimes! It was a quick 30 min train ride from Avignon, and it was so worth it! There ended up being a Roman festival which we didn't realize, but there was a little market and everyone was dressed in Roman clothes! There was even a show going on at the Arena! We sat outside the Arena and watched the behind the scenes. It was funny seeing a regular guy in a striped shirt who was the director telling Roman soldiers where to go 😂. We went to the Maison Carrée, which is a Roman temple, as well as a nice church! We walked around the pretty gardens called Jardin de la fountaine and ate some pizza before heading back to Avignon. Our French is holding up, we only had one person speak to English to us today. Overall was a great decision to go to Nimes, it was quite the Roman adventure!Read more
