A trip to Nîmes

Gordon did some washing this morning then we did a trip to Nimes. It's an interesting City and the highlights are the 2000-year-old Roman Temple the Maison Carée and the Roman Arena. We visited both.

We had lunch at a small restaurant in Nîmes called Le Napoleon.

We also visited the Jardins de la Fontaine in the north west corner of the City and climbed up the Tour Magne, an old Roman tower that is at the highest point of the City, in the Jardins de la Fontaine. It offered some spectacular views. We managed to see the outside of the cathedral at Nimes but it was closed by the time we got there.

We came back to the campsite and had chicken and chips at the snack bar with a few beers. Spotting a theme yet?
