Private Provence Tour - Footsteps of the Romans Pont du Gard
The Romans chose the Eure in Uzes to supply the town of Nimes with water and they built a thirty mile aqueduct and the bridge to achieve it. Today you can learn more about the history and heritage of the city of Nimes and see the many Roman remains. There's also free time to explore the site of le Pont du Gard.

There are several well-known vineyards in the area, including Château Mourgues de Gres. The best place to sample, and buy, local wines is at the Les Cave du 41 wine shop on 41, rue Emile Jamais. La Vinothèque on 18 rue Jean Reboul is another good wine merchant. As in so many other French towns and cities, the indoor food market (on rue General Perrier), is worth a visit. This street, together with rue des Marchands and pedestrian streets in the Old Town such as rue de l’Aspic and rue de la Madeleine, form the bulk of the shopping areas. The latter has many expensive fashion stores. A cheaper option is the Sunday flea market by the football stadium Stade des Costières. Many tourists buy Santons, small clay figurines in the shape of farmers, maids, priests, etc. They can be found at Boutique Provencale on place de la Maison Carré.

Many nice restaurants can be found hidden among the Roman alleys and buildings. Nîmes is situated in the Languedoc region, but its proximity to Provence makes for an interesting culinary combination. The squares and alleys of Old Town are full of bars, but there are few clubs. For a city with a population of only 130 000, the nightlife is surprisingly good – especially in the summer.

Vacquerolles - Eight minutes drive from the city of Nîmes, the golf course at Vacquerolles is spread over the scented, sunny hillsides of the ‘garrigue’ - the scrubland typical of southern France.

Take time out to visit Nîmes, which is famous for its gallo-Roman history and has some of the best preserved Roman sites in southern France.
