Another city in Provence worth a look is Nîmes. It has been called the most Roman city outside of Italy and dates to the days of the Roman Empire. Its Maison Carrée is considered the world’s best preserved Roman Temple and dates to the first century. It, like Arles, has a 2,000 years old amphitheater that is still used for concerts and bullfights. A short distance from Nîmes is the Pont du Gard, an aqueduct begun around 19 BCE, that stands as the tallest of all Roman aqueducts at 158 feet. Individual stones weighed as much as six tons.
