We stayed in Nimes for a week at Sophie's place with our sons, ages 10 and 12. It was a hot week in Nimes, and we so appreciated the pool! We also appreciated having air conditioning in the bedrooms for sleeping.
The location is fantastic, and we could easily walk to the historic center of town, as well as to restaurants and shops. We also appreciated the access to the garage for parking our rental car. Nimes is a wonderful town, and it's centrally located for venturing out to other towns for day trips (Avignon, Marseilles, etc.).
We were a bit put off by the extensive paperwork that we had to fill out upon arrival. We were asked to go through every room in the house and mark any areas of damage and the condition of the facilities. The paperwork was mostly in French with some key sentences in English. Before we could depart, Sophie's daughter, Lucie, did an inventory of the house. We've stayed in many vacation rentals over the years, and this was the first time we had to do this.
Sophie's daughter Lucie lives on site with her family, and she is a great host. She provided us with grocery store recommendations when asked. While Lucie doesn't speak English, and my French is limited, we managed to communicate just fine. Thank you for everything!
