5 Boulevard de Prague
30000 NIMES is situated to the north of the amphitheatre and you can see it from your room if facing the front. It is not cheap but is in an extremely convenient location for the old town centre which is literally a couple of minutes walk across a park.

058287Famous for its roman remains. You cna buy a combined ticket which allows you to visit the amphitheatre (the gladiator exhibitors are great for kids), the maison carree (a well preserved temple with a 3D film show, again, good for kids) and the watch tower. It's also a vey pleasent place to wander round the old town. Beware, traffic and parking is tricky, best to use pne of the underground carparks, they are reasonable.
