Hi, I thinking of Nimes as a 3 day base on our way from Paris to Barcelona. Is this a good option vs. Montpellier (we'd like to stay fairly close to the TGV route to BCN). I appreciate any suggestions/comments on our proposed plan. Elaine
Day 1: arrive midday, walk around Nimes.
Day 2: bus to Pont Du Gard-can I add a triangulated route back to Nimes via a 2nd stop?
Day 3: Best small/scenic villages to visit via train/bus?

That option was great for us.
We took the bus to Pont Du Gard it leaves right outside the train station parking area and then just familiarize yourself with the schedule back. You will see others taking the bus back. You can easily get to Avignon (it's ok) and Arles from Nimes. We took a half day guided van tour to other towns like Gordes, Roussillion, Les Baux from Nimes arranged by the Tourist info center

Uzès is a wonderful place to visit from Nîmes particularly on market days, Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
