Water feature & Arena
The old and the new. In the large open space of what is now the Esplanade de Charles de Gaulle in Nîmes but which was once a square housing the guillotine, the Roman arena can be seen in the background. In the foreground is part of the sculpted water course, which runs from the Fontaine Pradier on the Espalanade , down the Avenue Feuchères, as far as the railway station, where it ends with a modern fountain. The water flows quickly and must bring welcome relief to passersby on a hot summer's day.
