Thursdays in Nîmes (Les Jeudi de Nîmes)

jeudis-de-nimes

Every Thursday evening during summer, in July and August, the city of Nîmes will delight you with music live (Flamenco, pop, jazz etc…), sellers of local products, antiques, street food and much more! These events will take place in the historic center of the city: Place de l’Hôtel de Ville, l’Esplanade, Petit Temple, Place Bellecroix, Place de la Maison Carrée,  Place des Esclafidous, Cour du Musée du Vieux-Nîmes, Place de l’Horloge…. However the highlight will be in front of the Maison Carree, Place de la Maison Carrée. Also notice that the Maison Carree will be open until 9pm during the event!

Yes the weather is nicely warm, the sun goes down late, very late and we just want to enjoy our Mediterranean summer nights walking around in this very beautiful City of Nîmes. This is definitely one of our favorite events!

Féria des Vendanges (Wine Harvest Feria)

IMG_3505 (Copy)

Here is one more event you must go… and for those who couldn’t go to the Feria de Pentecôte, this is a great alternative too. Held the 3rd week of September in Nîmes The Feria des Vendanges is slightly smaller than the Feria de Pentecôte, but it still an event that everybody is waiting for. Some people will prefer this Feria to the Feria de Pentecôte because it is less crowded and more local since there is less tourists in Nîmes in September. What makes the Feria des Vendanges such a unique and outstanding festival is the same the multitude of events as in the feria de Pentecôte: Pégoulade (which is a carnival/procession that launch the opening of the Feria), corridas, exhibitions, bodegas (from the Spanish word “Bodega), Sevillanas dances, Spanish food and giant paellas freshly made, Sangria, Flamenco music concerts, peñas (street bands) and plenty of bull related events such as the ancierros and abrivados where we literally let the bulls playing with people in the streets! All these ingredients in a more local atmosphere… not to miss!!!
