Nîmes (/niːm/; French: [nim]; Provençal Occitan: Nimes) is a city in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It is the capital of the Gard department.
Nîmes is located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Cévennes mountains. The estimated population of Nîmes is 146 709 (2012).
Nîmes has a rich history, dating back to the Roman Empire when the city was home to 50,000 – 60,000 people. Several famous monuments are in Nîmes, such as the Nîmes Arena and the Maison Carrée. Because of this, Nîmes is often referred to as the French Rome.
The city derives its name from that of a spring in the Roman village. The contemporary coat of arms of the city of Nîmes includes a crocodile chained to a palm tree with the inscription COL NEM, for Colonia Nemausus, meaning the "colony" or "settlement" of Nemausus, the local Celtic god of the Volcae Arecomici. Veterans of the Roman legions who had served Julius Caesar in his Nile campaigns, at the end of fifteen years of soldiering, were given plots of land to cultivate on the plain of Nîmes.

Travel video about destination Nimes in France. For almost two thousand years an imposing Roman amphitheatre has dominated the French city of Nimes. Prior to the Romans the Celts established a settlement in Nimes. During the rule of Julius Caesar and Emperor Augustus the city grew in importance. The Arena was once the setting for gladiatorial battles but today it is matadors who fascinate their audiences during the Whitsuntide Feria. The amphitheatre was built in around 70 A.D. Nimes, or "Nemausus" as the Romans named their colony, developed into an important centre. In the 2nd century A.D. emperors Hadrian and Antonius Pius ordered the construction of two further splendid buildings, thus the town was enriched by fine architecture. In contrast to the famous Roman Arena at Arles the Nimes r...

It is part of the Nîmes aqueduct, a 50 km-long (31 mi) structure built by the Romans to carry water from a spring at Uzès to the Roman colony of Nemausus (Nîmes). Because the terrain between the two points is hilly, the aqueduct -- built mostly underground -- took a long, winding route that crossed the gorge of the Gardon, requiring the construction of an aqueduct bridge. Built in the 1st century AD, the Pont du Gard is the highest of all Roman aqueduct bridges and is, with the Aqueduct of Segovi...

La chaine officielle de l'émission de France 3. C'est pas sorcier, le magazine de la découverte et de la science. Après avoir conquis la Gaule, les romains imposent leur civilisation aux Gaulois... Ils se mettent à construire des milliers de kilomètres de routes et remodèlent les villes. Les Romains imposent aux vaincus leur civilisation urbaines. Partout où ils passent, leur architecture doit marquer les esprits. C'est un véritable outil de propagande qui doit servir à s'attribuer les grâces des notables locaux ! A l'occasion des Journées du patrimoine, Fred et Jamy nous offrent une petite visite de deux glorieux vestiges de cette époque gallo-romaine: le Pont du Gard et les arènes de Nîmes. Nous découvrons avec eux les mille astuces des architectes d'alors.

Don't shut your eyes to me
I want to make you see
Our destiny, how it's supposed to be
And let the darkness fade
Find comfort in my shade
'Cos you're not alone, no you're not alone
Can we see, can we feel when we're in the afterlife
Do you know, how I know to believe in you
Because I do
Can we hope, can we love, can it be our destiny
'Cos I'm listening
Yes I'm listening
To you
Now don't you close your eyes
Stop telling me your lies
Don't live in fear, 'cos I won't disappear no
I hope you understand
I'll lend a helping hand
So come to me, 'cos I will set you free
Break the silence
Fill this emptiness
And hope for better days
Can we see, can we feel when we're in the afterlife
Do you know, how I know to believe in you
Because I do
Can we hope, can we love, can it be our destiny
'Cos I am listening
Yes I am listening
To you
Don't break me now
Don't tell me that it ends
Let us find another way to make amends
Don't hate me now
Don't turn the other way
