Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport (FNI), generally to the northeast of the center.

Winter
Winter pares the town back to essentials. Cafés feel more intimate, the center grows calmer, and the day is shaped by short walks, warm interiors, and a practical, lived-in atmosphere that makes everyday routines feel especially clear.
