We flew from Rome to Montpellier and then taxied to Nimes on Saturday 18-oct and checked in for one night at the Novotel Atria in Nimes Centre. Nimes is a lovely town. John walked the town that evening and took some pictures, then got lost in the far reaches of Nimes for a few hours before finding his way back to the hotel.
The Avis rental car return at Fiumicino Airport (near Rome) was very stressful. Unlike many other airports, the rental car return is not prominently marked as you drive into the terminal area. Our B&B host had said which parking area to look for, which helped a lot. There may have been one small Avis sign amongst the blizzard of airport signs, but we missed it. Fortunately we were early and had time to hunt for the Avis return and eventually found it, in a parking structure separate from the other car companies.
