What to expect

The Jardins de la Fontaine is a 15-hectare park located in the heart of Nîmes, France. It is one of the oldest public parks in Europe and features a mix of natural and historical elements. The park is divided into two main areas: the lower gardens, which have a classical French design with symmetrical paths, tree alignments, and ornate balustrades, and the upper gardens, which have a more natural and Mediterranean landscape with pine, oak, and cypress trees. The park also features several notable monuments, including the Tour Magne, a ancient Roman tower, and the Temple of Diana, a mysterious Roman building. Visitors can explore the park's many paths, enjoy the scenery, and take in the history and culture of the area. The park is also home to a variety of plant species, including olive trees, cypresses, and laurels, and offers a peaceful escape from the city.
