Nîmes

Description of the location

Nîmes dates back to the Roman Empire and offers several well preserved sites from that era. Nîmes is also where the textile for jeans was originally invented: the word Denim is derived from the name of the city ‘de Nîmes’ i.e. from Nîmes. Antique Roman and typical Mediterranean visuals abound!

Producers visit, day 2

In Nîmes, the tourist office offered the producers a tour of two of the major Roman sites of the town: the arena (the 7th largest in the world) still used today for concerts and shows and the ‘Maison Carrée’ classical temple. They also strolled along the picturesque limestone-paved streets of the town centre.
