In Nîmes's Old Town you'll find the expected rash of chain stores mixed with fabulous interior-design boutiques and fabric shops selling the Provençal cottons that used to be produced here en masse (Les Indiennes de Nîmes, Les Olivades, Souleiado). Antiques and collectibles are found in tiny shops throughout the city's backstreets, but there is a concentration of them in the Old Town. Anywhere near the arena abounds with bullfighting memorabilia, but if you want to really get into the spirit, you can find your complete toreador outfit at Maria Sara Création. She was famous in her day as a female bullfighter.
