The Arena

NIMES AND THE CLASSICAL
12 The Arena
This Roman colosseum in Nimes is one of the most well preserved I've seen. No trip to Nimes is complete without a paying a visit to this historical treasure that is now also a museum. Quite impressive! What I love about European towns is there are always festivals in the towns. Unfortunately, I forgot to pack my gladiator armor when I was planning my trip to Nimes. All joking aside, on the next viewing gallery I show an example of a Nimes festival, a reenactments in the arena with the people of Nimes dressed in full regalia paying homage to their roots dating back to their ancestors who were the gladiators of ancient Rome.
