Nimes

We travelled to Nîmes along the minor road and then on motorways .

Our parking was at a market and it was fun looking at all the stalls. I don’t know why but we saw clowns walking up and down! 

To get to the amphitheatre was a 15 min walk. Today was colder and with rain showers.

It was steep climbs in the Arènes (amphitheatre) and I only made it up to the middle tier. Vince went up to the top. He got views over the city.

Next was a ten min walk to the Roman temple maison caree.

We had our usual salad lunch in a pub cafe then found the car again.

Next stop was to Uzes

This ancient medieval town had narrow streets and towers and the most interesting church. I hope my photos show you a bit of what we saw. 

By now it was 5pm and so we headed back to the camargue. What a lovely last day in France!
