After having lunch, my friends and I started walking again
This is just something I noticed while I was in Europe, but there seems to be more roads that are convenient for people than for cars.
I mean, Europe does have a lot of old cities that go centuries back.
After a short walk, we made it to '
Maison Carrée'
Back in the Roman days, it was used as a temple.
I think this structure has undergone some restoration, but even the parts that seemed to be older (the columns for example) were at really good shape.
This is the road you can see from the front side of Maison Carrée
Some shops and cafe's around Maison Carrée.
It feels weird and cool at the same time to see that a historical place is right next to the modern everyday life of Nimes.
Currently, the Maison Carrée is typically used for showing the documentary called 'Nemausus'
It is a documentary of how Nimes came about in the Roman Empire days.
We had some time until the next showing time, so we just chilled in the shade of Maison Carrée
and after we saw the Nemausus documentary,
we walked over to our next destination.
which was this building.
The place was called "Musée du Vieux Nîmes (Google Translate: Museum of Old Nimes)"
??????
Well, that was unexpected for a "museum of old Nimes"
some of these stuff are from 19th or 20th century.
The museum also had some odd, artistically designed dresses.
and mostly some antique machines, tools, household items were displayed there.
....
Nothing too much to say.
I mean, that's how museums are.
