The city of Nimes is 2,000 years old and was built on a spring discovered by the roman Nemauses.

There are so many facets to this ancient and most southerly region. Rich in history, a wealth of sites are waiting to be explored. From the magnificent walled town of Carcassonne to the stunning Roman city of Nîmes with it's world famous Roman Gladiator Arena (Arènes) and Maison Carrée with the nearby Pont du Gard being the tallest Roman aquaduct in the world. South of Nîmes is the wildlife haven of the Camargue with it's famous white horses, pink flamingos and not forgetting the torros! A short drive north is the spectacular Cévennes mountain range and the breathtaking Tarn gorge.

The landscape varies from the dramatic scenery of the Pyrénées, ideal for walking and skiing, to the soft sandy beaches of the Mediterranean.

There really is something for everyone in Languedoc-Roussillon and the enviable climate of more than 300 days of sunshine a year has made it the biggest wine producing region in the country.
