On Sunday the 19th we spent the day visiting the Roman heritage of Nimes. We were to meet Le Phenicien crew at 5pm at the rail station. We walked around central Nimes, skirting the (1st century) Roman amphitheater, lunching at a cafe in the Jardin de la Fontaine and next to the “Temple of Diana”, then returning to the amphitheater in time to see the festive members of the parades going into the stadium for the bull races.
We met Michele at the rail road station at 5 and were transported to Le Phenicien at Aigues-Mortes.
