I would like to find the bus schedule or train schedule from NImes to Avingon and Arles. I cannot find it I was wondering if anyone can help me with this?
For all European train timetables: http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en
For buses, routes etc. are on here: http://www.beyond.fr/travel/bus02.html
If you can read French, the train timetables are available in printable format here:

This company operates buses between Nimes and Avignon, routes 71 and 169
http://www.stdgard.fr/accueil/
And this is the bus between Arles, Avignon (town) and Avignon (TGV station)

Again you will need French to understand the timetables.
Hope that helps.
Constructed between 1838 and 1849, EGLISE SAINT-PAUL is a beautiful church in the heart of Nimes. Saint-Paul Church is located at Gard (30) in Nimes which is in the province of Languedoc-Roussillon.
Update: Thanks to Jean-Louis ( JLBG ), I was finally able to put a name to this beautiful church. Thank you so much.
The Museum of contemporary art stands opposite the Maison Caree (ancient roman temple) on one of the squares.
Theres alot of architectural nonsense talked about "Creating spatial unity between the two structures", and being inspired by the Pompideau centre - but when you really look at it you realise he's just knocked off a scaled down copy of Stansted airport (also his design) and plonked it in the square.
It seems the french have a certain fondness for placing the very cutting edge against the traditional - e.g I.M. Pei's pyramids at the Lourve, but it does seem to work.
A public space since the XVIII century, the gardens of the fountain are at the foot of Mont Cavalier (Mount Cavalier)
There are beautiful statues, fountains and more.
At the very top of the gardens/hill is the Tour Magne (Magne Tower), erected in 15 BC.
This 2000 year old bridge and aqueduct, built to service Nimes, was the tallest bridge ever built by the Romans. It was built by ropes, pulleys, and slave labor. We took the bus out to the sight and had lunch. You can walk across the bridge, but not up on the aqueduct level, as that level is walled off.
Our tour of Nimes was rather a whirlwind one because immediately afterwards we had to drive practically the length of La Provence to get to Nice before dark. The influence of France's southern neighbor is obvious in the architecture and the choice of entertainment: bullfighting!
Traces of its Roman past are also abundant in Nimes. This arena has withstood the test of time and looks much as it did centuries ago.
Of course that marvel of Roman engineering, a little something known as Pont du Gard, is practically down the street from Nimes.
The rectangular house, La Maison Carree, is another Roman antiquity. It's said to have perfect proportions. What these are exactly you'll have to look up on the Internet :)
