It is possible, and actually a good idea, to arrive one or several days early in Nîmes, and also to extend your stay in Paris. This page will provide all the options available to that effect, as well as the room options during the tour.
All the rooms offered in my tours have private baths. For breakfast see the way of the Meals.
NÎMES
Nîmes a high note in French Roman history
You might want to arrive 1 day or more early in Nîmes, a town of great character that is delightfully left untouched from mass tourism, and has lots of Roman times treasures as well as 17th and 18th century architecture, plus unique shops and restaurants to start this tour in ecstasy.
Should you want to do that, please take a look at the room options, which feature a price for additional nights, as well as a price for upgrades.
Our hotel in Nîmes is by far the best hotel of the town, a 5 star one and true institution, with all the amenities you may want. It is beautifully located basically across from the gorgeous Jardins de la Fontaine, and a short stroll from Nîmes absolute downtown, Roman Amphitheater etc.
