Apparently the sun shines in Nimes for 300 days a year. I don't know if it's true, but on the day I visited this city it was lit all day long. There are many monuments from Roman times preserved in Nimes, but what impressed me the most was not the amphitheater, but the Maison Carree temple, i.e. the Square House. The contrast between the modest interior called the cella and the impressive facade with Corinthian columns turned out to be quite a surprise.
