Nice to Nîmes is a private transfer of approximately 272 km through the French Riviera, Alpes-Maritimes, Var, Bouches-du-Rhône and Gard. The journey takes 2h35 to 3h05 via the A8 and A9 Autoroute Languedocienne motorways. Nîmes is the prefecture of the Gard department in Occitanie, located 50 km southwest of Avignon and 45 km northwest of Montpellier. Known as the most Roman city in France outside Rome itself, Nîmes was founded by the Romans as Nemausus and became one of the most important cities in the province of Gallia Narbonensis. Its Roman monuments include the Arènes de Nîmes (amphitheatre, 1st century AD, capacity 24,000, still used for bullfighting and concerts — one of the best-preserved Roman arenas in the world), the Maison Carrée (Roman temple, 16 BC, described by Thomas Jefferson as the most perfect building he had ever seen, now housing a 3D film on Roman Nîmes), the Tour Magne (the highest point of the Roman city walls, 34 m, 1st century BC), the Jardins de la Fontaine (Europe’s first public gardens, 1750, around the Nîmphe spring that gave the city its name) and the Temple of Diana. The Pont du Gard, 23 km northeast of Nîmes, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the best-preserved Roman aqueduct bridge in the world, 49 m high, 275 m long, built in the 1st century AD to carry water from Uzès to Nîmes. Fixed rates start from €450 for a sedan (up to 4 passengers) and €600 for a van (up to 8 passengers), all-inclusive. The service operates 24/7 with real-time flight tracking, free child seats and VAT invoice provided.

Route Overview: Nice to Nîmes

The transfer from Nice to Nîmes crosses five French departments in under 3h — departing the Mediterranean coast of the Alpes-Maritimes, traversing the Var, the Bouches-du-Rhône and the western Rhône corridor to arrive at the Gard department’s capital, where Rome left its most indelible mark on French soil.

Leaving Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) or any Nice address, the route heads west on the A8 La Provençale through Cannes, Antibes, Fréjus and the Estérel massif, continuing through Aix-en-Provence before the A9 Autoroute Languedocienne branches westward across the Rhodanian corridor. The A9 — one of France’s most strategically important motorways, connecting the Riviera to Spain through Languedoc and historically the modern Via Domitia (the Roman road that linked Italy to Iberia) — carries the route across the Costières de Nîmes wine plateau to arrive at Nîmes.

Nîmes is the most paradoxical of French cities — a place where the ancient Roman world has survived with extraordinary completeness not in a museum but in the middle of a living, working provincial city. The Arènes de Nîmes — the Roman amphitheatre, built in the 1st century AD, seating 24,000 spectators for gladiatorial combat and later converted into a fortified medieval village (900 people living inside the arena walls until 1809) — are so well preserved that they still host bullfights during the Féria de Nîmes (Pentecost and September) and concerts throughout the year. The Beatles, Elton John, U2, the Rolling Stones and Beyoncé have all performed inside a 2,000-year-old Roman arena in Nîmes.

The Maison Carrée — the Roman temple built in 16 BC by Marcus Agrippa and dedicated to Gaius and Lucius Caesar, the grandsons of Augustus — is the best-preserved Roman temple in the world, a fact that Thomas Jefferson noted in his autobiography after spending hours in front of it during his years as US Minister to France: “I gazed whole hours at the Maison Quarrée, like a lover at his mistress.” Jefferson used it as the architectural model for the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond (1788) — the direct ancestor of the US Capitol building, making the Maison Carrée the grandmother of American democratic architecture. Today it houses a 3D film on Roman Nîmes.

The Tour Magne — the 34-meter octagonal tower at the highest point of the Roman city walls, built in the 1st century BC — stands in the Jardins de la Fontaine, the extraordinary terraced garden laid out in 1750 by the military engineer Jacques-Philippe Mareschal around the fontaine de Nîmes — the sacred spring (Nîmphe) that gave the city its name. The gardens — Europe’s first public municipal gardens — descend from the Tour Magne through balustrades, canals, statuary and the ruins of the Temple of Diana (a sanctuary of the imperial cult, 2nd century AD) to the Place de la Maison Carrée at the heart of the city.

The Pont du Gard — 23 km northeast of Nîmes near Vers-Pont-du-Gard — is the most spectacular surviving structure of the ancient Roman world: a three-level aqueduct bridge, 49 meters high and 275 meters long, built in the 1st century AD to carry the aqua Nemausensis water supply 50 km from the spring at Uzès to Nîmes — a gradient drop of just 17 meters over 50 km (34 cm per kilometer), an engineering precision that astonishes modern hydraulic engineers. It carried water for approximately 500 years before falling into disuse; Charlemagne used it as a toll bridge; the central arch was widened for road traffic in the 17th century. UNESCO inscribed it in 1985.

Uzès — 25 km north of Nîmes — is one of the finest small Renaissance cities in France: the Duchy of Uzès (the oldest Duchy in France), the Cathédrale Saint-Théodorit with its unique round Tour Fenestrelle campanile (the only surviving Romanesque round tower in France), the Place aux Herbes — one of the most beautiful medieval market squares in Languedoc — and the extraordinary private Duchy château (still owned by the de Crussol family). Uzès also gave the world Haribo — the confectionery company was founded by Hans Riegel in Bonn but named after its main ingredient supplier, the réglisse (liquorice) cultivated in the garrigues around Uzès, and opened its first French factory here.

The broader Gard area we serve from this transfer includes the Cévennes National Park (Alès, Anduze, Saint-Jean-du-Gard, the Bambouseraie de Prafrance), La Grande-Motte (the futurist pyramid beach resort designed by Jean Balladur in 1967), Aigues-Mortes and the Camargue Gardoise coastal plain.
