There was a Christmas market in the square with a Ferris Wheel strategically located directly next to the Arena...for some over-the-top photo ops.
Arena of Nimes
IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY....that the best Roman ruins are not exactly in Rome - they are in Southern France. Nimes is a centerpiece of Roman history in the area (see Pont du Gard). On the way back from Port Barcares we stopped off in the Nimes city center to eat lunch and see the Arena of Nimes. I suppose it doesn't necessarily qualify as a Roman ruin, per se, because (and think about this for a second) the colosseum is still in use as an arena. Wow!
