Nimes is a gem between Provence and Languedoc, less known to Israelis traveling in the area, which is a shame! Nimes is one of the most interesting cities in France. Nimes was the seat of the Roman Emperor Augustus while he was away from Rome, which was threatened by Cleopatra and Antony, and as the emperor's residence, temples, a huge Colosseum, a bustling port, and gardens were built there.
Because over the years Nimes suffered less from the Germanic tribes that burned Rome, the antiquities there have been wonderfully preserved. Opposite the ancient buildings, several famous architects have built impressive buildings such as: Philippe Starck and Norman Foster. The combination of old and new in the city creates a special atmosphere.
Nimes is not a huge city, but relatively small and very pleasant for tourists who come as part of trips to Provence and stay there. In the article you will find recommended hotels for every budget and every style, which can be a great base for a star trip to Provence.
So, are you coming to Nim? Let me help you find the perfect place to stay for your next vacation.
