A great place to unwind. I had been on a 4 month traveling tour of Classical Greek and Roman antiquities, and we finished in Nimes, a wonderfully walkable city with a "southern", relaxed feel to it. Of course, the aquaducts are stunning, but I enjoyed the people and the pace of the town even more.

I wish I could have spent more time there.
