People told us it was impossible to find a parking place in Nimes. It took and hour...an hour to find a place to park. We were late for my doctors appointment. So we considered ourselves extremely lucky when we were driving by the Augusteum to find a parking space right beside the afore mentioned. Our visit there was impressive. The Augusteum in Nimes, which was a sacred place of the Gauls before the Romans developed it into a sanctuary dedicated to the emperors and their families, encompassed the spring whose waters were managed and directed, to control flooding, fresh water, and there is some indication that sewage flow was also managed. Aside from all that, the place presently is a knockout. Very inspiring.
