Here’s another view of Nîmes, seen from the top of the amphitheatre. There, where you now see a giant wall painting of the Spanish torero José Tomàs, will a few years later stand the new museum of Romanity. The work has just begun. Otherwise the views are of the nearby suburbs of Nîmes, a mixture of old, fairly low buildings and new and modern apartment buildings.

it’s neat to see the old mixed with the new.

Yes, it’s so easy to forget the new buildings… yet they make the city together with the old. I was quite surprised myself seeing the city from this angle, normally we look towards the older (and prettier) quarters!
