Provence Day 2


 Today we explored Nimes, beginning the day with a short film in the Maison Carre, one of the best preserved Roman temples. We then walked to the town's amphitheatre and looked at all the types of gladiator who would have fought there.

After lunch, we visited the Tour Magne, the largest and only remaining tower from the ancient city walls, followed by ice cream and a return to the hotel for a swim and dinner.
