Stop! Look no further: you’re home in the beautiful centre of Nîmes, walking distance to everything: shopping, museums, la Maison Carrée, the train station… You’ll probably be graciously welcomed by Patrice, the owner, at the front of the building and helped inside with your luggage. His comfortable, quiet apartment is like being in a living museum, surrounded by paintings everywhere. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need. You’ll probably regret having to leave and want to come back again. Bon voyage!

Practically Perfect in Every Way!

We'd worried that the photos and reviews might be too good to be true, but WE were WRONG! This is the Mary Poppins apartment: Practically Perfect in EVERY Way! It was like living in a wonderful art gallery, in a well-located, exquisite historic neighborhood. Patrice was kind, generous in suggestions of restaurants, patisseries, and must-see places to visit. After eight nights, we didn't want to leave. We'll be back.

Easy walking in Nimes

A great pied a terre with a lift for three of the four floors. The apartment was decorated like an art gallery with paintings on every wall, on every space. It was private and spacious for two. Restaurants, bars, museums, the smaller than Rome coliseum,the canal were walking distance in the centre of town. Our host Patrice informative and a gracious host in English or French.

Wonderful apartment in downtown Nimes

This apartment was originally lived in by Patrice, the owner and host. Much of his original furniture and especially artworks remain and it is a delight. Located on the 4th floor of an old building (with lift to 3rd level); but completed renovated in recent years, it is comfortable with everything one could want. We enjoyed it tremendously and would recommend it to any visitors to this very interesting and beautiful city. Patrice lives in the same building and was a very kind and attentive host.

Perfect!

I loved this place when I first spotted it on the VRBO site. Patrice actually came downstairs when he spotted us from the window and helped guide us to the building. Everything about the apartment is well thought out and so artful yet comfortable. My husband thought the bed was a bit uncomfortable but I thought it was fine. Loved the lift and the views from every window. I would stay there again without hesitation. Wonderful experience and great host.

Astonishingly sophisticated and you can stay there.

Here’s your chance to stay in a perfectly edited, enormously extravagant, expertly appointed, absolutely gorgeous suite of rooms overlooking the best of Nimes, and pretend it is yours. Nothing lacking, totally comfortable, elevator and only one final flight of stairs that are wide and easily mounted. Hot water abounds, and everything works! Artwork and antiques everywhere you look. Throw in the gracious, stately, charming city of Nimes and you will never want to leave. Patrice is a host extraordinaire, kind, friendly and beyond helpful; he is one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. Ten stars.

We were sad to leave.

It’s difficult to say something original that praises Patrice’s outstanding apartment. From his welcome, to the gallery of art, to the tasteful decoration, to the thoughtful amenities, this apartment stands apart from any other we have rented. The location is superb with the city’s best market, Les Halles, just outside the door. Don’t want to cook? A short walk will bring you to any number of good restaurants. The great location extends to all the important cultural attractions within walking distance. Finally, your host is attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. We will return.

If you’re considering a stay in Nîmes, this is the perfect spot. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better VRBO experience.It’s no wonder Patrice is more than a 20-time suerhost: this flat is gorgeous - literally floor to ceiling artwork - in a spectacular location, across the street from a Roman temple built in the first century. We were so comfortable - Patrice used to live in this flat and it seems he’s thought of everything to make an enjoyable stay. The tiny kitchen is well-equipped, the bathroom has everything you might need including a bathrobe and blow dryer, and there’s a tv, wifi, books in English, and even a washing machine (which we made use of).Patrice suggested some of his favorite restaurants and he was spot on! I wish we didn’t have to leave…Merci beaucoup!

Patrice was an excellent host , renting us his fabulous apartment. We had the pleasure of staying in his apartment for 5 days. When you step outside from the front door, you are suddenly transported back into time, with a Roman temple, at your doorstep. There was so much to see , all within easy walking distance! We soon realized that 5 days was not enough time. We will be back for two weeks next year! We greatly enjoyed Patrice’s fantastic art collection- we were truly inspired! We just can’t say enough good things about his apartment and his assistance during our visit. It truly was an honor to be there.

Art lovers dream

This one bedroom apartment provided everything we could have wanted for our stay in Nimes. Patrice greeted us and made us feel welcomed. The apartment is nicely remodeled with modern bathroom and kitchen. Wifi was provided and worked great and the bed was very comfortable. The flat is filled with lovely works of art and antiques. The best feature of this flat is the location - perched across the street from the Maison Carree. The old city of Nimes is right out the front door with lovely lanes and alleys teaming with excellent cafe's, restaurants and shops. The three major Roman architectural artifacts are well within walking distance. Parking is not provided but is available at a discounted rate for longer stays right around the corner from the flat. Day trips to Avignon and Pont du Gard are very possible from this location. We highly recommend Patrice and his charming attic apartment.

Amazing Apartment in Nimes

My husband and I just returned from a fabulous trip to France. We were in country for 16 days. We spent three nights in this lovely apartment in Nimes. We loved it! Patrice is an excellent host who has truly thought of everything in the place. From the moment we booked our trip Patrice was available to offer suggestions that made our time in Nime delightful. His suggestions ultimately helped us set an itinerary that was full of the local culture and yet relaxing. We had read the previous reviews and Patrice lived up to every one! The 4th floor apartment was beautifully decorated with local art. I think we were still finding paintings we hadn't noticed on the way out the door. There was so much character in this place. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The bathroom was spotless. It was a wonderful place to relax at the end of the day, make our own food and enjoy a bottle of wine. This little haven became home to us. We loved it and would definitely stay again. Thank you Patrice for a making Nimes a wonderful stop on our trip!

Kleinod zum Träumen

Selten, dass ein Objekt in der Wirklichkeit noch schöner ist, als in der Beschreibung! Wir haben uns in Patrice' Wohnung von der ersten Sekunde an wohlgefühlt. Die liebevolle - in ihrer Fülle nie überbordende - Ausstattung mit Gemälden, Teppichen und Kunstgegenständen (sogar auf der Toilette!) lassen den Blick geradezu lustwandeln und verleihen der eigenen Phantasie (wieder) Flügel! Wie gern haben wir nach den Rundgängen und Ausflügen in und um Nîmes unsere Zeit in unserem "Nest" unterm Dach verbracht, den Blick auf das Maison Carrée und den Februar-Sonnenschein am offenen Fenster genossen. Da braucht man kaum mehr zu erwähnen, dass alles andere an der Einrichtung auch perfekt für uns war: die Küche mit allem Notwendigen, das Bad mit Handtuchwärmer und einfach zu bedienender Dusche, das Wohnzimmer mit Musikanlage, TV und W-LAN sowie das Schlafzimmer mit großzügigem Stauraum hinter einer Schiebewand. Man erreicht die Wohnung über den Fahrstuhl zum dritten Stock und eine weitere Treppe zum Dachgeschoss hinauf. Die Altstadt und alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie Bäckereien, Supermärkte und die Markthalle sind im Umkreis von zwei Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Fazit: Wir kommen bestimmt wieder! Danke Patrice, uns Gästen ein so schönes Domizil auf Zeit zu überlassen.

The previous reviews have clearly stated how special this apartment is, and it is difficult to find new adjectives to add to the list! This sweet apartment is exceptional.
