The Arena of Nîmes: Where Friendship Meets History
Seb: During our trip to France, I wanted to introduce my best friend to one of the places that, for me, best embodies the grandeur and immensity of Antiquity: the Arena of Nîmes. This was not just a tourist visit, but a plunge into two thousand years of history, at the heart of a monument that single-handedly tells the story of the power of Rome and the identity of an entire region.
Roman: Before this trip, I had never been in a structure of this type. I haven’t seen the Colosseum in Rome, so this building made a big impression on me. It looks especially interesting when you climb to the top part. Inside, everything has a feel of antiquity. You can walk almost anywhere in the structure, and from there, you get a wonderful view of the surroundings. In some places, a bit of physical fitness is required to climb the high steps.
