Nîmes, have you heard of the city of Nîmes ? Located in the Occitanie region in the South of France it’s not the hot city on the French glam city trail-map, it’s has a much more subdued but very elegant style though. The first time I set foot in Nîmes I hardly new anything about the city, the idea of living in the South of France in my early twenties was exciting enough wherever the city. I didn’t arrive on a hot summer day though, rather in the height of winter, the city was beaten by a heavy and bitter cold wind, the unruly Mistral.
