Yes, and it's actually the ideal combination. The Pont du Gard is only 27 km from Nimes, roughly 30 minutes by car, making them natural partners for a day trip. The aqueduct originally brought water to Nimes, so you're following an ancient connection. Start at the Pont du Gard in the morning when light is best for photos, spend 2-3 hours there, then head into Nimes for the afternoon to explore the city's monuments. A private transfer makes this seamless since the aqueduct isn't easily accessible by public transport, and you won't waste time coordinating between different bus or train schedules.
Nimes sits perfectly positioned for day trips from across the region. It's just 51 km from Avignon, approximately 40-50 minutes by car, around 100 km from Marseille, typically 60-75 minutes away, and 250 km from Lyon, about 2.5-3 hours. Unlike coastal destinations that get congested in summer, Nimes remains accessible year-round. A private transfer eliminates the hassle of navigating French train stations, making connections, or dealing with inflexible departure times. Your driver picks you up at your accommodation, takes you directly to Nimes with optional stops at Pont du Gard, and returns you door-to-door, turning what could be a logistically complicated trip into an effortless experience.
A solid day trip gives you plenty of time to see Nimes' highlights. Plan for 4-5 hours in the city itself to tour the amphitheater, admire the Maison Carree, and stroll through the Jardins de la Fontaine. If you want to include the Pont du Gard aqueduct, add another 2-3 hours for the round trip and visit. With a private transfer, you control the schedule entirely, so you can spend more time at the sites that captivate you most and skip what doesn't interest you, something impossible with guided group tours or rigid train timetables.
Absolutely. While Rome has scale, Nimes offers intimacy and preservation that's hard to match. The Maison Carree is the only fully intact Roman temple anywhere in the former empire, and the arena is better preserved than the Colosseum in many ways. The Pont du Gard aqueduct, rising 48 meters over the river, showcases Roman engineering genius in a dramatic natural setting you won't find in urban Rome. Plus, Nimes feels authentically French rather than museum-like, with locals using the 2,000-year-old arena for concerts and bullfights, giving you living history rather than just archaeological sites.
Nimes earned its nickname "the French Rome" for good reason. While Arles has excellent ruins, Nimes offers the most complete Roman experience with better-preserved monuments and greater variety. The Maison Carree has no equal in France or anywhere else, the amphitheater is larger and in better condition than Arles' arena, and you get the bonus of the Pont du Gard nearby. The Musee de la Romanite, a striking modern museum, uses interactive technology to bring 5,000 Roman artifacts to life. If you only have time for one Roman city in Provence, Nimes delivers the most impressive collection in the most compact, walkable area.
Nimes offers France's most impressive concentration of Roman monuments in a single walkable city. You'll see the Maison Carree, the world's best-preserved Roman temple, and the Arenes, one of the finest Roman amphitheaters still hosting events today after nearly 2,000 years. Add in the stunning Jardins de la Fontaine with its Temple of Diana ruins, and the nearby Pont du Gard UNESCO World Heritage aqueduct just 27 km away, and you've got a full day of spectacular ancient history without the crowds of Rome. A private transfer lets you combine multiple sites comfortably, especially since the Pont du Gard requires a car to reach efficiently.
