Blood once stained these ancient stones where gladiators fought and emperors schemed under the blazing Provençal sun. Nîmes brims with legends carved in limestone and whispers lost in the shadows of empire.

This self-guided audio tour peels back the centuries, inviting wanderers to roam at their own pace and uncover secrets most passersby never hear. Each landmark reveals another layer, from the thunderous Arena of Nîmes to the enigmatic Square House and the modern intrigue of Nemausus.

Which uprising threatened to topple the city’s mighty Arena? What hidden symbol lurks beneath the columns of the Square House? Why did a Roman general dine on honeyed figs at a spot now forgotten by most travelers?

Move through alleys once trod by rebels and visionaries. Feel the pulse of revolt and marvel, tracing power, beauty, and scandal beneath the Provençal light.

Slip behind Nîmes’ grand facades and begin a journey where every step unlocks a new secret.
