Description
What if we took a leap back in time to the Nîmes of the Belle Époque?
For 1 hour and 30 minutes, we will explore a city undergoing a full transformation. Nîmes was expanding, modernizing, and new boulevards were appearing... but, in the midst of all this, its ancient monuments were still there.
And that's where things get interesting! During this period, the people of Nîmes gradually began to view their heritage in a different light. How could the city be modernized without erasing its history? What should be done with these ancient stones that, until now, were not always considered treasures?
As we stroll, we will discover this Nîmes, caught between modernity and conservation, through its streets, its monuments, and the stories of those who have helped shape the city we know today.
A lively, accessible tour, full of humor and deeply human, with a guide who is passionate about sharing heritage.
And before we let you go, we'll also share some tips and recommendations to help you make the most of the rest of your stay in Nîmes.
