Nîmes is a city with a population of around 137,000 in the département of Gard in the south of France. It has a stunning Roman temple whose pristine condition is unmatched by any extant ones in Rome. There are a few other fine Roman relics and Diana's Palace.
Alès
Alès is a small town in Languedoc-Roussillon, France. Although known as the capital of the Cevennes, you may have a hard time getting to Alès, partly because it's off the well-trod tourist track, and partly because everyone will assume you want to go to nearby, and bigger, Arles.
Aigues-Mortes
Aigues-Mortes is a town in the Occitanie region in southwest France, with well-preserved medieval city walls surrounding a historical centre.
