Set on the border of Provence and Languedoc, Nimes is mostly linked to two things: denim and Rome. The influence of the latter is highly visible in the Roman remains, which are some of the most extensive in Europe. Nimes is also famous for being the first manufacturer of denim, and an exporter to the southern USA in the 19th Century. The city is worth a visit not only for the ruins but for the new-found appearance of the town, achieved thanks to the efforts of famous architects and designers such as Norman Foster and Jean Nouvel. Being ancient and modern at the same time, Nimes offers contemporary comforts in the top-class hotels which are available for booking on our site.
