Roman House

Nîmes earned its nickname 'the French Rome' for good reason, and the Maison Carrée is the crown jewel — a remarkably intact ancient Roman temple dating back to the 1st century BC that still stops people in their tracks. Resting on a nearly 3-meter-high podium, it's one of the best-preserved Roman temples anywhere in the world, which is genuinely rare. Step inside and you'll find an immersive film experience that brings the founding myths of Nîmes to life.
