Nīmes : Nemausus
One day in early summer, I had two hours to kill in Nīmes, On the spur of the moment I decided to take a walk in the Jardins de la Fontaine. This is where there is a spring which supplied the Roman city with fresh water They called it Nemausus after a nymph in Roman mythology, a name they also gave to the city.
In the 18th c. Jacques Philippe Mareschala created the gardens with a series of pools, a fountainand a canal to transport water from the spring. I looked over the balustrade into a pool and watched the movements of the carp and their shadows. A new idea for a series grabbed me...
