Your stay in Centre-ville de Nîmes, in one conversation
Charlize builds hotels, activities and dining around your wishes, dates and budget.
Centre-ville de Nîmes is the compact historic core of one of southern France's most Roman cities. The neighbourhood is built around the Arena of Nîmes, a remarkably intact first-century amphitheatre, and the Maison Carrée, a temple that has stood for roughly 2,000 years. Between those two landmarks you will find the pedestrian shopping streets of rue de la Madeleine and rue de l'Aspic, the covered market Les Halles, and dozens of cafes and restaurants that fill their terraces from late spring through early autumn. The vibe is animated during the day and lively on event nights, especially when the Arena hosts concerts or corridas in summer.
Staying in the centre means you can reach virtually every major sight on foot, which removes any need for a car within the city. The main train station (Nîmes-Centre) is a short walk or a quick bus ride from the heart of the neighbourhood, with direct TGV connections to Paris, Montpellier and Marseille. Parking in the centre is limited and paid, so drivers should factor in a nearby car park such as Parking des Arènes. Hotels here range from budget rooms around 47 € per night up to polished five-star addresses above 280 €, giving the area one of the broadest accommodation spreads in Nîmes.
