Our visit to Nimes, & especially the amphitheatre remains a favourite Roman France memory for our family. The excellent audio tour kept us & our boys (12 & 14) engrossed. Don't miss the 2 little rooms at the end of the 'tour' which contain great displays and footage of the arena's current and past use. A great city to visit! more
