Nimes

With one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world and a near-perfect Roman temple, Nîmes beats out Arles for the title of "French City Best Able to Cash In on the Roman Empire's Former Glory." While the ancient ruins always take center-ring, keep in mind that this town also has other allurements, including refurbished medieval streets and a calendar rich in cultural events.
