Nîmes, French Rome has adorned itself with a thousand lights to celebrate Christmas! The historic center is not only home to the bullring and the Maison Carrée, Erika Vachon invites us to discover the Place de l’Horloge. It owes its name to the dial of its large tower with a wrought iron bell hanging from the top.
