Where does the information come from?

Dates, architects and official websites come from Wikidata, coordinates from Wikidata, maps from OpenStreetMap, photos from Wikimedia Commons (authors and licences on the Photo credits and sources page).
Are opening hours and prices listed?
No, on purpose: they change often. Each page links to the venue’s official website when there is one.
Where should I start?
The "Upper Town and the Opera" route is the shortest: 1.8 km, about 23 min of walking, without visits.
Which languages?
This website is in French and English.
Is this guide linked to the city or a tourist office?
No. It is an independent guide published by Immersion Totale, a studio based in Nîmes, France.
