Amphitheater

Imposing Roman amphitheater hosting historic reconstructions plus regular concerts & events.
Slide 1 of 20
A very well preserved and presented Roman Gladiatorial arena. The supplied interactive audio guide is well made and intuitive to use. The staff are friendly and helpful. You can visit the arena almost in its entirety, with gladiator and matador costume rooms available beneath the podiums. An escape game is also available with hidden riddles and challenges to find and complete around the arena. Descriptive information panels are posted around the arena in multiple languages. If this wasn't your main reason for visiting Nîmes, it should at least be your second. 5/5 must visit.
James H (Time to try) — Google review
An outstanding Roman arena undergoing a lot of restoration work. Entry was 10 euros though there are family tickets as well. There is an option to have audio commentary once you are inside. Toilets are on site. There is a bar but only open for events. The exit is through the gift shop which doesn't appear to be too expensive.

This is a TOP visit if you are around Nîmes, an incredible view from the past, a living museum! Don’t miss it ! For my big surprise, pet friendly for small dogs.
Jimena Veronica Carroz — Google review
There was a queue to buy tickets but it moved fast. We spent almost hours walking around while listening to the interesting narration of the audi guide; about the history of the amphitheatre and it's purpose. The visit was totally worth it.
victoria nyaga — Google review
Stunning on the outside, but the inside is not worth a visit if you’ve been to Verona or Rome. It’s mainly scaffolding with tribunes for shows. So nothing majorly nice to look at and not photogenic either. You can save yourself the 10 Euro entry fee per adult. If you go though, make sure to get the combo ticket that also only costs 10 Euros and allows also entry to the Tour Magne.
A V — Google review
The Amphitheatre of Nîmes is a sight to behold. Standing at an impressive 21 metres tall, the intact colleseum immerses you into ancient Nîmes. The restoration projects that have been ongoing for some 10 years have made a lot of significant and beautiful refurbishments that only enhance the Amphitheatre. While I appreciate the remaining half in the authentic, as it was, way. The "City of the Gods" show was spectacular and a pleasure for all, too. Make sure you book tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
Fraser McKnespiey — Google review
No other words than amazing. It's said to be the best preserved Roman amphitheater and after visiting a few I have to agree. If you are in the area I highly recommend visiting. On my visit the amphitheater was set for a concert and I'm still happy to have seen its beautiful. I visited on a saturday and it was not busy
Mike M — Google review
Big and beautiful ancient arena, now turn into a concert hall. Looking outside is much more interesting and grand. But inside pretty much full of tool, concert equipments. The audio is interesting to explain about the place and you can visit only half of the arena, due to under construction.
Pasan Sensouk — Google review
Amazing Roman architecture, they were setting up a concert hall when I went to visit. They provide you a mobile tour guide in different languages and there is a nice souvenir shop on the way out.
Suzette E — Google review
Beautiful and amazon Arena, dated s. I D.C. so almost 2000 years and still splendurous and astonishing. Now under big renovation but still can visit this historical monument. Specially recommended to take photos during sunset time but also night time.
Carlos — Google review
Nimes amphitheatre is another beautiful example of Roman architecture. It was built around 100 AD and is well-preserved today. It was once used for gladiator fights and still hosts various events such as bullfights, concerts and other events. While smaller than the Colosseum in Rome, I was still amazed by the size and design of the arena. I highly recommend going all the way to the top level to enjoy great views of Nimes and the amphitheatre itself.
B Schmidt — Google review
Very cool Roman amphitheater with a comprehensive audio guide (several languages available) that is more interesting and entertaining than most. Just be sure to bring a photo ID. Very friendly employees here as well who speak English. We didn’t buy tickets in advance but it wasn’t too busy and there was virtually no wait. Lots of concerts/festivals during the summer so unfortunately the middle of the arena was set up with a stage and sound booth etc. - a unique location if you’re attending a concert here but still worth a visit if you’re not.
Joycelin Wong — Google review
The Arena is in really good shape. However, a day before we visited it there was a concert inside, so we had a ”pleasure” to see all the construction related to it - that made a negative impact on our experience. Besides, there was a strong smell of urine on the ground floor. Despite the above, a place with great history, well preserved, definitely worth seeing.
Maciej Żebrok — Google review
One of the most preserved roman amphitheatres / arenas I have ever seen. The tickets are also affordable and you get an audio guide with it by default. There is also a good souvenir shop at the exit of the arena. Definitely recommended place to visit.
Ivan Antunovic — Google review
The amphitheater is a beautiful and historic Roman arena that will inspire any intrepid traveller with an interest in Roman history. There is an audioguide available for anyone interested in learning more about the history of the arena and is a worthwhile addition when looking around the amphitheater. At the exit of the arena there is a shop where people can buy souvenirs. There is a combination ticket available to buy that also includes access to the Maison Carrée and the Tour Magne, I’d recommend buying it if you’re interested in site seeing Nîmes. I’d definitely recommend visiting the Amphitheater of Nîmes.
Simon Jones — Google review
It’s definitely worth buying the combo ticket to visit the Maison Carrée” and the museum, though we didn’t have time to visit the latter. The arena is very well preserved and a pleasure to visit. It’s still hosting many types of events. A must see in the region, definitely recommended.
Eric Le Roux — Google review
Super beautiful to look at from the outside and nice to see the inside of, but not worth the cost of admission. There isn't much to see inside.
Jason Fair (Nomadic Nerd Project) — Google review
Nice Roman amphitheater in Nimes. Arrived too late so I could not visit the archaeological museum right opposite. Would be good to visit both the museum and the amphitheater.
Gloria Tan — Google review
Be warned that you need photo identification (not a passport!) to borrow the audio guide or you can use the online guide - not so convenient if you are international roaming. Last resort are the attached info sheets.
Justin Dabner — Google review
The Nîmes Amphitheatre is an incredible testament to Roman engineering and architecture. This well-preserved arena is not only an important historical site but also a venue for concerts and events today. Walking through its corridors and seating areas transports you back in time, evoking the grandeur of ancient gladiatorial contests. The scale and preservation of this amphitheater are truly awe-inspiring, making it a must-visit attraction in Nîmes. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, or simply want to immerse yourself in the past, the Nîmes Amphitheatre delivers a memorable experience.

This park in Nîmes is really beautiful, the trees give it a cool breeze. From the park you have a clear and lovely view of the town. It is so breath-taking just to visit the place. I would go back there countless times. I was with friends so, The more the Merrier...but you can do it solo.

Absolutely stunning place. History, water, greens. Climb the stairs to find some magical views and shade.

A great set up of fountains. A lot of hungry carp is present in the water which is eager to eat anything. Near the fountains a roman Temple can be found which is easily accessible. It gives a nice view of structure.

Beautiful park to walk around with amazing views from the Roman tower at the top... if you can make it up there in 34 degree heat. Nice cafe at the bottom which is perfect for a drink or two in the shade.

Beautiful public gardens. Lots of space to lose yourself in from the bustle of the city. Roman ruins open in the park are worth checking out.

Lovely gardens in keeping with the classical style of Nîmes. We'll thought out to provide shade, which I appreciated as it was 40C

Serves beautiful sandwiches & coffee , Don’t miss out visiting here .

A sublime park that climbs the hillside until it meets the tower Magne at the summit. The views, sculptures and Roman architecture around the source are all fantastic. Plenty of places to sit and relax with a picnic or sunbathe. Small children's parks are placed throughout with a miniature carousel by the main entrance. It's well maintained and naturally very green, with a mixture of more exotic plants and trees added for variety. The source is also surrounded by various fountains and water features keeping the air cool and fresh. A must visit for all ages!

Restored Roman temple dedicated to 'princes of youth', with richly decorated columns & friezes.

The 'Maison Carée' is considered one of the best preserved Roman temples in the world. Originally a temple dedicated to the grandchildren of emperor Augustus, the building has also been a church, a warehouse, a private residence, and a museum. Today, you can watch a 23-min movie about the history of Nimes. Starts every half hour on the hour. Cost €6.
Beat A. Schwendimann — Google review
Beautiful , well preserved temple. The history is presented and explained in depth inside. We bought the combined ticket with the Arena. 100% worth the visit and a must do in Nîmes.
Levon Alyanakian (Levon's Travel's) — Google review
Very historical site. The outside is great but the inside is not worth paying 6 euros for. It is just one room with placards describing the history of the place. You can see the history online and save the 6 euros.
AW M — Google review
A perfectly preserved Roman temple is a must-see if you are interested in Roman culture. Take care to read the information displayed on the northern side. It is worth to step down the stairs to experience how impressive the temple was from the original street level. Absolutely worth visiting.
Wolfgang Laun — Google review
The Maison Carrée is a beautiful and historic Roman temple situated in the heart of Nîmes. For any intrepid traveller interested in Roman history, this building is a definite location to visit when visiting Nîmes. When perusing around the temple there is good information given to you about the history of the building over the past 2000 years. You can buy a combination ticket that includes access to this building as well as the Amphitheater of Nîmes and the Tour Magne. It is a recommended purchase if you are interested in site seeing Nîmes.
Simon Jones — Google review
Beautiful structure and great for photos but be sure to visit early enough when there aren’t any people around.

A famous Roman monument in Nîmes is the Maison Carrée, a well-preserved Roman temple that dates back to the first century AD. The temple was dedicated to Emperor Augustus's sons and is considered one of France's best examples of Roman architecture. Today, the Maison Carrée houses a museum that tells the story of the temple and its history.
Philippe Quentin — Google review
Honestly not worth going inside. From the open door you can see inside, which is just an empty square room with some information boards. It is an absolute marvel to see from the outside, amazing that it has been standing there for two millennia.
Jarrod Hunt — Google review
Like others have mentioned, not a ton to see inside but it’s well maintained. We went because it was included in the Nimes la Romaine pass, otherwise I think viewing it from the outside would be sufficient.
Joycelin Wong — Google review
Maison Carrée in Nîmes is a true architectural gem. This exceptionally well-preserved Roman temple showcases the elegance and precision of ancient Roman design. Its stunning Corinthian columns and intricate detailing are a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply appreciate beauty in architecture, Maison Carrée is a must-visit. The site offers informative displays, enhancing the visitor's understanding of its historical significance. Nîmes itself is a charming city, and Maison Carrée stands as a captivating window into its rich past.
Rogerio Vasconcelos — Google review
Beautiful example of ancient architecture. If you like history you’d be definitely inspired. However I don’t think that it is worth to buy a ticket to get in (6€ per person). There’s a big empty room with some information about the building… so you can read it on the Internet.
Kirill Maksimkin — Google review
Despite reviews from some others complaining this beautiful and historical building is empty inside we chose to have a look inside. And were we happy that we did! True, it’s empty in the sense of historical or even original artifacts but come one this place is 2000 years old! Instead the caretakers/owners have done their best to walk visitors through the origins of this unique temple including how it looked like when the Romans built it. Very informative and somewhat interactive. Fascinating place and let’s be honest, how often do you get the chance to walk inside a 2000 years old Roman temple still so intact?!
Remco Poortvliet — Google review
The temple is well preserved and shows its importance even today in the center of the square. I didn't really like how it was set up inside as it doesn't value it well how could in addition to the cost which is slightly high.

Beautiful view over the city, nice climb of about 140 steps inside the tower. Nicely kept Roman building, serious climb through the park upwards to the tower, however worth the trouble. Take enough water to drink!
Martijn Van Lit — Google review
Tour Magne is a wonderful place to visit, particularly for any intrepid traveller interested in history. The tower has a great panoramic view of Nîmes from its balcony once you have ascended the interior staircase. I’d suggest buying the combination ticket, that also includes the Amphitheater of Nîmes and the Maison Carrée as it’s great value and a useful way of site seeing Nîmes. While walking to the Tour Magne I’d suggest walking through the Jardin de la Fontaine, which is a beautiful public park situated in the heart of Nîmes.
Simon Jones — Google review
It is a very pleasant walk through the Jardines de la Fontaine and uphill, to this tower, dating back more than 2200 years. The interior of the tower is nothing but stairs; if you are keen on having a great view of Nîmes pay the entrance fee and climb the stairs. Avoid times of high visitor frequency because the platform on top is very small, and there is no traffic control.
Wolfgang Laun — Google review
Tour Magne in Nîmes is a captivating historical monument that offers panoramic views of the city and its surroundings. This Roman watchtower, once a part of the city's fortifications, stands tall on a hill and is a testament to ancient engineering and strategic planning. Climbing to its summit rewards you with breathtaking vistas of Nîmes, including the famous Roman amphitheater. While the ascent can be a bit steep, the view from the top is worth the effort. Tour Magne is a great spot to soak in the city's history and capture some memorable photos.
Rogerio Vasconcelos — Google review
I really enjoyed visiting this monument. The gardens and playground on the way up were also a great sight. It is however at the top of a hill. Once inside there are many steps to climb to reach to the very top and enjoy the view. It isn't wheelchair friendly.
Mimi Lou — Google review
Currently under repair and you can't get on it. There are no views of the city because you can't see through the trees without climbing up the tower. Not really worth the that walk up the hill.
Hendrik Vos — Google review
Great view, lots of steps, a little slippery though! Amazing for the price and very very cool. Easy to access and i loved the garden! I recommend it to anyone of any age.
SgNaPuZ — Google review
To see a good view of the town is here on the tower, and hiking up a bit from the park is only 5 minutes. Nothing much to see except the town view.
Pasan Sensouk — Google review
Cheap to enter, €3 and €1.50 for children, or cheaper as a bundle to visit other attractions. Some information boards about the tower and Nimes' history, and then a windy walk to the top of the tower to get an amazing view of the city. It's only a small viewing platform, capability of comfortably fitting about 6 people.
Jarrod Hunt — Google review
In this huge garden, this really beautiful ancient Roman tower is hidden, so to speak. After climbing the hill full of peculiar trees and narrow intertwined streets you arrive at the tower. To reach the top of the tower you have to climb spiral stairs, it is not advisable for those who have vertigo, because the void below could annoy you. The view of the city from above the tower pays off then all the fatigue.
J_Gogo — Google review
This was included with our tkt bundle. Have to go through a large park. The tower has A lot of history that’s written out on boards in several languages. Nice climb up the stairs inside to get a view of the city.
Danny Soda — Google review
Wonderful little hike through the park to the top through all kinds of different tree types and small water pools with wildlife (ducks, koi, and a big swan). You have to pay like 3€ to go up the spiral stairs to the top of the tower, but totally worth it.

The views are great! I love climbing stuff. We only waited about 15 minutes. Recommended

Located on Mount Cavalier, it is a Gallo-Roman monument. It is actually a pre-Roman building transformed in the time of Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). It is the most imposing vestige of the very long Roman wall of Nîmes. The tower was 18 m high at the end of the 3rd century BC. Then in Roman times it was 36 m high. Today the tower is only 32.50 m high. You can go up the tower and from here there is a beautiful panoramic view of the city.

Conçu sur un plan basilical, ce monument romain du Ier siècle abrita un monastère au Moyen Âge.
Slide 1 of 11
Very simple, quite destroyed and it truly does not live up to its name, as nobody really knows the deity it was dedicated to, or anything much about it; yet, I still give it 5 stars, as it contains a rather beautiful marble or alabaster relief of five circular bodies creating a pattern similar to that of "the flower of life" from the Levant, while also making up a larger 3D sphere. Never seen anything quite like that in the Roman world. Other interesting nuggets to be found walking around
Manuel Salgado — Google review
Little of the building exists, but what remains clearly displays how the Romans constructed vaulted ceilings. Worth seeing for this alone.
Mark Lynch — Google review
The area around the temple, with parks and water features is amazing. They were constructed in Louis’ time to store water for textile manufacturing, but are beautiful. The Temple is very cool. A hike up to the tower is worth the energy.

Ruins of an ancient temple which is a must visit in Nîmes, holding impressive size and history.
Fraser McKnespiey — Google review
Roman building from the 1st century. Despite its name, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that it is a temple or even that it was dedicated to Diana. Rather, it is thought to have been a library. In the Middle Ages it housed a monastery, which explains why it has been partially preserved to this day.

Great museum showing the history of the Roman Empire, especially regarding the local area around the city. You can buy a pass that gets you into the museum and all 3 of the major Roman ruins around the city! Very cheap and worth it!
Eric Campbell — Google review
Without a doubt the best laid out museum of Roman antiquity I have visited. The exhibits explain beautifully how the artifacts were found and used. The architectural models clearly explained how the various buildings were designed and constructed. And the exhibits progressed through time from the earliest to the latest. Well worth the visit.
Mark Lynch — Google review
I spent more than five hours exploring the museum. It is very well organized and offers multimedia tools that make learning much easier. And it entertains you. I have been to several museums, and this is the best one I have been to so far, as it has adapted very well to the current times of teaching. I had the opportunity to visit the American Museum of Natural History in New York and it has a lot to learn from the Musée de la Romanité . As another thing that amazed me was the architecture that looks beautiful on the outside, but it is on the inside where you get the impact. At one moment it is as if you open a shutter and through the window you see the past. And there it is, in all its splendor, the Arena of Nimes. A marvel!

Well worth a visit, this museum is laid out to allow the visitor to experience audio-visual history at their own pace. A little confusing with spiral stairs but good facilities.

Stylish and modern design is working well with interesting and interjective elements of the exhibition making your visit exciting. I did also like the temporary exhibition that should be there until the end of the year 2023 - would recommend checking it as it is a fresh view of the ancient sculpturing

A truly exceptional museum that combines style, artifacts, information and technology to great effect! There is also special attention paid to keeping the museum accessible for those with visual and auditory impairments, with things like physical touchable replicas of objects and relief paintings (with braille, of course) which act as duplicates for the real thing. See the attached photos for an example! For the price, the value of the museum is beyond compare, especially if you have even a passing interest in Roman Empire history. Big thanks to Bastien R. , an enthusiastic and helpful guide we met along the way, who gave us details on the functioning of an AR mirror and much more!

The museum includes a large collection of artifacts from the time of the Gauls and the Roman period, up until the medieval times. The price of the ticket is 9€ and 12€ if you wish to have an audio guide. However, there is information in English on all the displays and the museum staff were very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions. We were lucky as there was also a temporary display of contemporary arts where you could admire Roman statues with a modern twist! Do not forget to visit the gardens and the viewpoint! The restaurant with views of the amphitheater seemed really nice! Overall, we spent nearly 3 hours, so it is a must if you are a history buff!

Apparently set up primarily for school children, the museum has few exhibits but lots of technology and tricks to entertain. It is built upon the site of Nimes' Roman walls which are artfully indicated by outlines and partial reconstructions, because they were demolished (naturally). The gorgeous amphitheatre can be seen clearly in the plaza outside, which is the best exhibit one could wish.

Absolutely astonishing! The museum is extremely well-designed, and the works are phenomenal. The explanations are clear, the videos are well produced, and it is easily the best museum for kids I have seen in a long time. Do not miss it! The #1 attraction in Nîmes, by a very wide margin

Went with the full pass in Nîmes and was pleasantly surprised of how well made the museum is. Lots of interesting artifacts and artwork. Most of the interpretive areas were available in 4 different languages. Well laid out.
Debsthewebs — Google review
This is a really good museum if you like aesthetics and history and has some amazing pieces. However, on a family trip it felt very pretentious. Very little to engage little ones besides a few token tables and lots of sniffy staff hovering to make sure you dont touch anything. When buying tickets the receptionist was very unfriendly and there was no where to store our coats on a wet day. In addition if you dont buy the audio guide there is very little sinage to tell you what things are. Not one to inspire the next generation and a completely different experience to the pont du garde museum that was built with kids in mind.

The Pradier fountain is a marble fountain on the Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle in Nimes, inaugurated in 1850. It was created by the architect Charles Questel and the sculptor James Pradier and it is registered as a historical monument by decree on November 16, 1988. The fountains main figure is a young woman standing in the middle which represents the city of Nîmes. It bears as its crown the emblematic Roman monuments of the city: the Arena and the colonnade of the Maison Carree (Roman Temple). The main statue is surrounded by four seated statues and basins that collect water. These four figures, two men and two women, represent four major rivers in the region: the Fontaine de Nîmes, the mother source of the Roman colony, the Gardon, the Fountain of Eure and the Rhône. Each of these representations is identified by its Latin name, engraved on its base: Nemausa, Vardo, Ura and Rhodano.

Superb market in one of the gastronomy centers of southern France. Shopped here often during our week in Nîmes; bought fish, beef, chicken, cheese, vegetables, bread, wine. Everything fresh, most of it local. Do yourself a favor and find a place in Nîmes with a kitchen for at least a few days so you can take advantage of what this market has to offer.

J MacKay — Google review
I'm probably not well qualified to judge this gallery, as I'm not a big fan of contemporary art, however I am always open to giving it a try. In my opinion, such as it is, this was particularly poor. Very few exhibits, many of them completely missed me, in that I could see little artistic quality in them. I think I enjoyed about 5% of the exhibits. I was accompanied by 2 other people, both of whom had a wider appreciation of art than myself, and they also found it particularly poor. Frankly, a waste of €8.
Adrian Berkeley — Google review
A nice cultural center for Nimes, where you go from the library to the classrooms where you can set up exhibitions such as those of modern art. The architecture is new and majestic as a whole and definitely makes it quite a tourist attraction. Then there is also the possibility of going to the bar-restaurant with a terrace overlooking the square of the Roman temple.

Fabulous show celebrating their 30 Years. They do a great job presenting contemporary art chronologically. The information placards explain the emergence of contemporary philosophies and their transition in form over the las 5 decades. I recommend seeing this in conjunction with the Museum Romanité (Musée de la Romanité). Their current contemporary exhibit binds the relationship between the two museums. Ignore negative reviews and come to appreciate this excellent exhibit.

We just drove into Nimes without a plan other than to see the arena. We happened to walk past this office and decided to go in. I'm very glad we did! The greeting was very friendly, we got lots of useful information - including a suggestion to ride the tram that takes you around town. Which gave us a great sense of the place and what else we wanted to see. We ended up spending most of the day in Nimes. Thanks for your kindness! The city itself . . . captivating. We loved the simple, elegant Christmas decorations. Much different than the garish way we do it in NYC. The Arena is simple awe-inspiring. And what a credit to the city for keeping it in use! We found the people, shops, parks all to be wonderful. Traffic is a little tight, but there's ample parking at a very reasonable rate.

The English translation: "Water Castle". Although it was known from the texts, it is a rare vestige of this type. Its function was to distribute water to the city. This water was supplied by a 50 km long aqueduct built in the middle of the 1st century A.D. (Augustan period). In times of drought, it guaranteed the security of the water supply and facilitated the evacuation of the city's wastewater. It is known to have been filled in during the construction of the citadel in 1688 and was not rediscovered until 1844 by a private individual who immediately set about uncovering it. There is no entrance fee, you can see it from the sidewalk.

Important place in the history of nimes, where the water of the aquaduct entered the city and was distributed by means of 10 lead pipes. The city is a bit out of the city centre and not properly signposted. Use google maps to find it! Top tip: close to the tower and the jardins fontaines, combine the visit!

Ok so this is a very interesting site for people who are interested in roman engineering and how the aquaducts worked when they reached the urban areas. Probably not worth going to if not interested in that as not much to see and it is just a tiny site that you look at on the side of the road.

The place itself isn't much but if you are a bit of a Roman nerd then you would appreciate how cool this place is. This is where the water entered the city after traveling for almost 100km via aqueducts including the pont du garde. This building distributed the water via different pipes with different uses, like drinking water and sewage water. The engineering behind it requires its own wikipedia page

A well curated collection of Italian, French, Dutch and German painters. The French collection has some wonderful portraits that let you see into the soul of the subject Also, there is a lovely painting of Alexander the Great meeting the very eccentric Greek philosopher Diogenes while he lived in a barrel with his clock, his stick and his bread bag. Additionally, there is a particularly engimatic painting of Ulysseus' "encounter" with a sword waving Circe on the island of Aiaia. And if, like me, you ever wondered exactly how the Immaculate Conception occurred, there is a painting with a depiction.

Step outside the old town and you will find this little gem. Perhaps it is overshadowed by the Museum Romanite and that's why it was so quiet. However, the fact that it is not busy with tourists adds to its appeal. The entrance to the building is gorgeous, decorated with beautiful sculptures. The interior with its grand staircase does not disappoint either. The exhibition includes mosaics, sculptures and paintings from different artists and periods. The entrance fee costs only 5€, so there is no excuse not to visit.

Very small, with very little of real interest inside. There is a room filled with cultural items from across Africa and Australia but barely anything is labeled or the few labels that are there are often illegible or hidden. Many exhibits obscure other items of interest by blocking your view. It felt less like a museum and more like a brocante. Some of the taxidermists animals are so poorly finished they're laughable, potentially entertaining enough to warrant a visit. It's hard to recommend that you will find anything worthy of your time here or your money. Overpriced for what is actually on display and the quality of the exhibitions are severely lacking. Keep your money for other attractions.

Very interesting museum for a 5 euro entrance fee. The personnel were very kind and helpful. Some of the floors of the building were as amazing as the displays. The origin of Denim has its own room to show how it originated in Nimes and has evolved. (De Nimes = Denim). It's on two floors and as I recall there is no lift which is unfortunate for many people but I suppose it's good to know that before you begin your visit.
