Stroll across the tree lined walkways, through twisty foliage covered paths, and along flights of stone steps as you explore all that these gardens have to offer. Choose your route according to your mobility and energy levels - the Tour Magne is right at the top, for those looking for great views but a rather intense trek.Perfect for kids, families, older people or just those looking for some fresh air and beautiful greenery.
Great park in the central part of the city. Got many birds and fishs you can watch very closely. The gardens were ment to be a lot bigger but the reconstruction was too costly, so it was left as it is. Don't forget to visit a great ancient roman temple in the left corner of the garden. And everything is absolutely free!
Wonderful park in the heart of nimes. If you like cardio, you can climb right to the top, where there is a Roman tower. You can pay to go up the tower, but we thought the view was nice enough without climbing. Lots of peaceful places to relax.
North end of the city with rising ground up to the Tour Magna. At the base is the Temple of Diana (ruin) and impressive water feature with lots of multicoloured carp, swans, ducks etc. and some dramatic fountains with spray that creates their own rainbows. Nimes was the destination for the water that flowed over that iconic aqauduct, the Pont du Gard, and this area was part of that. The gardens are well tended and a lovely place for a stroll.
Great sunny day, fairly quiet, swans on the pools. There was a cafe on the edge which was convenient.
Very well-kept gardens. We visited on a sunny, warm day in late October and loved strolling around. The volume of water being produced by the spring was a surprise. The temple of Diana was interesting and I recommend you climb to the top of the Tour de Magne at the top of the hill for spectacular views over Nimes. Best if you buy a ticket coverning this attraction, along with the Arena and Maison Caree (Roman temple).
Originally location of today's town of Nimes provide housing Celts. Today it is a nice city with the largest arena in the whole of France, there is also the Maison Carree, Carré d'Art, Porte d'Auguste here. I am most impressed by the Jardins de la Fontaine from the 18th century.
I'm shocked that the Nimes Arena isn't rated as the top attraction in this gorgeous city. It's true that the gardens are beautiful and expansive; however, it seems like the city needs to invest in some cleaning up and maintenance particularly near the ruins of the Temple of Diana. The gardens showcase several ponds and grassy areas with manicured flower beds as well as some more wild-type vegetation as you climb the gardens up toward the tower at its pinnacle. It's a nice place to spend some time relaxing, strolling, and observing the flora and fauna on a sunny day.
This was our first attraction that we visited, and it's a lovely place to walk around. It's popular with a wide variety of people, and a good place to have a picnic.
The entire area here including the gardnes that lead up the hill are just such a delight to wander a get so wonderful photos
