Nimes

The Roman period is a great starting point. Nîmes or Nemausus as it was called then, was a really important Roman colony. You can still see that in the impressive remains such as:

  1. Les Arènes: This amphitheater is breathtakingly well preserved. You can imagine gladiatorial fights and public spectacles taking place there. It is one of the best preserved Roman arenas in the world.

  2. La Maison Carrée: A beautiful example of a complete Roman temple. The architecture is so elegant and the details are still visible. It is an architectural gem.

  3. Le Pont du Gard: Although it is located slightly outside the city, this Roman aqueduct was crucial for the water supply of Nîmes. It is a gigantic and ingenious construction that still inspires awe.

  4. The Tour Magne: This tower was part of the Roman city wall and offered a beautiful view over the city and the surrounding area.

But Nîmes is more than just Roman history. Over the centuries, the city has developed and has an interesting medieval and later past. Think of the narrow streets, the squares and the architecture that reflect the different periods.

Nîmes played an important role in the textile industry in the 17th century, particularly in the production of serge, a strong woolen fabric. And the fabric "denim" probably owes its name to serge de Nîmes.

De Romeinse periode is een prachtig startpunt. Nîmes of Nemausus zoals het toen heette, was echt een belangrijke Romeinse kolonie. Dat zie je nog steeds terug in de indrukwekkende overblijfselen zoals:


  1. Les Arènes: Dit amfitheater is adembenemend goed bewaard gebleven. Je kunt je zo voorstellen hoe er gladiatorengevechten en openbare spektakels plaatsvonden. Het is één van de best bewaarde Romeinse arena's ter wereld.


  2. La Maison Carrée: Een prachtig voorbeeld van een complete Romeinse tempel. De architectuur is zo elegant en de details zijn nog steeds zichtbaar. Het is een architectonisch juweeltje.


  3. Le Pont du Gard: Hoewel het iets buiten de stad ligt, was dit Romeinse aquaduct cruciaal voor de watervoorziening van Nîmes. Het is een gigantisch en ingenieus bouwwerk dat nog steeds ontzag inboezemt.


  4. De Tour Magne: Deze toren maakte deel uit van de Romeinse stadsmuur en bood een prachtig uitzicht over de stad en de omgeving.


Maar Nîmes is meer dan alleen Romeinse geschiedenis. Door de eeuwen heen heeft de stad zich verder ontwikkeld en heeft het ook een interessant middeleeuws en later verleden. Denk aan de smalle straatjes, de pleinen en de architectuur die de verschillende periodes weerspiegelen.

Nîmes speelde in de 17e eeuw een belangrijke rol in de textielindustrie, met name de productie van serge, een sterke wollen stof. En de stof "denim" dankt waarschijnlijk zijn naam aan serge de Nîmes.
