There will be three of us visiting Nimes in March 09 and we would like to have a private room (shared bath ok). Can anyone recommend a good place to stay?
I stayed at the Hotel Central, which was perfectly satisfactory:

You might also check www.hostelworld.com for hostels. www.venere.com and www.booking.com are both reliable sites, with honest guest reviews. I booked the Central through venere.
It is very noticable that this area of France has long been influenced by it's Spanish and Italian neighbours.
You most obviously see this in the food - with Pizza and Paella available in many places, but also in traditions such as bullfighting and in the generally more laid back and relaxed 'mediterranean' feel of the place.
I'm not saying the Parisians are cold in comparison but.....
...they are.
The city of Arles
The roman remains, and above all the arena, are great. The downtown area is simply a maze... a nightmare if you are driving, a dream if you are walking and browsing at random.

Je te salue au loin, belle rose, ô tour Magne !
La Tour Magne tournait sur sa colline laurée
Et dansait lentement, lentement s'obombrait
Tandis que les amants descendaient la colline
La tour dansait lentement comme une sarrazine.

Ryanair seems to specialise in flyng to airports you never knew you wanted to go to until you saw the price.
But here at last an airport near a place I' ve actually heard of before.
On the other hand I'm not sure if the Ryanair staff at Stansted had heard of it as it was shown at the check in desks as "Nines" and "Neims", both of which were new to me !
