Wonderful place to live so full of History

[@123benny4]

Very livable city. Thanks for all the information about markets and public transportation.

[@titteryenot4524]

Ah, fair Nimes. As soon as I stepped out the station up that gorgeous wee alley between Ave. Feucheres, leading up to Les Arenes, I knew I was in a spot to savour. It was July. The cicadas were providing that quintessential Midi soundtrack with their crazy buzzing, the buildings has that faded grandeur/shabby-chic look that France does like no other country on Earth (save Italy), and the general vibe was one of satisfied torpor in the summer sun. Sure, there’s not much to the place. To call it France’s Rome is to grossly insult the scale and richness of the Eternal City, but what there is, including, of course, the superbly preserved aforementioned Les Arenes and Maison Carree, is worth a day of anyone’s life.

Thank you for these wonderful tours,

Just beautiful! Can really feel the wet weather(in a good way). Want to go into a cafe, sit and have some coffee.

[@thuytienlives8487]

Beautiful. I really have to visit the South of France. Like most the only city i have visited in France so far has been Paris. Thank you for this beautiful and detailed video

[@mjwafa000]

Beautiful place

[@paulmaccann4509]

went last summer, bringing back so many happy memories. pretty sure that's a crocodile and not an alligator, could be wrong. viva la France.

[@MrGarytc]

Lots of interesting information. Great video.

[@unknown81360]

Would love to visit one day

[@polythenewrappedme6102]

Correction: they are crocodiles not alligators ! The symbol of Roman conquest of Egypt, and the crocodiles of the Nile. Nimes is very beautiful. Found a superb bistro at the rear of the amphitheatre, with its slow cooked lamp in red wine and silver skinned button onions. The main street north of the railway station has beautiful fountains cascading, and I love the yellow sandstone buildings that remind me of Stamford and Bath.

[@resolute7627]

Im sure Dennis appreciates the correction Pam.

[@stephaniecollomb4154]

I love the video you made of Nimes. I come from a small town outside of Nimes. Have you been to Uzes? It's my hometown. As a kid I used to go to Nimes once a month with my family. It was a big trip for us then. From time to time I go back but I kive in Ireland now. I miss my city so much.

[@denniscallan]

Thanks, it is always nice to be loved, especially by a local. Yes, I have been to Uzès several times and made two movies about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIKZh4dqfritgKc and here kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKpeJ2wrqefh9k

[@MarI-Posa]

We used to holiday in Uzes each summer. Many happy memories

[@frenchartantiquesparis424]

I don't think he mentioned that during the summer, the Roman theatre becomes a huge concert venue! All the big stars, including my favorite, Sting, play in Nimes.

[@solangeschmidtteixeira]

Looking forward to go to Nimes.

[@denmcsymiuk957]

Cool!

[@karenneubauer7864]

Good video. It was nice to see more of the city than the presenter, like so many travel shows do... Shame you didn't show the 'water park' on the canal in more detail, I loved that when I was there 20 years ago... Lots of info in a relatively short time, thanks!

[@denniscallan]

Thanks for noticing my low profile. I generally keep the scenery in the shot, not myself, unlike others, who are on big ego trips. I sometimes pop in briefly so you know who is talking, then get out of your way.

[@devildogcrewchief3335]

It wasn't an alligator but a Nile crocodile which was a sort of Coat of Arms awarded to the city to honor the Legionaries who retired to Nimes.

[@terrythomas3755]

Thank you.

[@flaneurable]

Your movies are almost too good. It will be like deja vu. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them. he he.

[@denniscallan]

I like that

[@kevinsineadcoulomb-keogh4490]

You know what my husband is from near Nimes. We live in Ireland we have popped into Nimes centre and ran around for a few essentials passing by many of these sites. We took the time to visit the Arenes and had the tour but never seen any of the other sites. I appreciate all your little points of information about the architects of note, and the tram that can function as a bus etc. I have been on that mode of transport and didn't realise. Great Job. Although I was a bit concerned at the few bystanders that gave you dirty looks when filming. They mustn't be used to tourists visiting in November!

[@erwannleligerien3771]

Nimes, from where came the first jean.

[@ash9x9]

Do people at Nimes / Avignon also stare at you like they do at Grasse?? I was at BIOT yesterday having Coffee at the local Sq. and people were looking fixedly ....

[@denniscallan]

I did not notice that...maybe because they don't get many tourists, you are an oddity to them.

[@ash9x9]

@@denniscallan Mostly they were elderly, so maybe..

[@2380Shaw]

I'm studying French and I also have a passion for genealogy research so I looked to see if there is such a thing as French Geneology. I found out there is a degree in that at the University of Names.

[@IRedpunk]

Lol the teacher was saying “don’t film the children without authorization” 😂

[@denniscallan]

Good thing I don't understand French. It's a public street and they walked into my shot.

[@IRedpunk]

@@denniscallan I know ! Thanks again for the video by the way !

[@markoshea6833]

I'm reading 'A perfect Heresy' but I don't know anything about the Languedoc.

[@lacrimedolci7637]

👍👍👍

[@pizzaearthpancakesandother2549]

you done well my dude ,but in french they say it Nye-MAY , not "neeems" ,because in france they got accents . Howdy from DALLAS TX .

[@heliedecastanet1882]

Hey ! Actually, Dennis is quite right : we say "Nim" (we don't pronounce the final e and s, because they are silent. It would have been différent if there had been an accent on the "e", like in "Uzès"). Fun fact : Nimes was the city in the XIX° century where a famous fabric was made : la toile de Nimes, then exported to the US where it was used for making the… jeans (hence the English name : Denim, aka "De Nimes") 😉 Greetings from France !

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

I had planned to spend two months in Europe this summer. Thanks a lot China!

The US virus

[@khunopie9159]

Wow if I go there I will check out that mall and go to Starbucks!

[@florianbischoff9025]

You don't have to travel so far for going to a mall and to Starbucks
