Day 14 of your road trip in France is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Nimes before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Clock Tower, a breathtaking monument before you head out.

Maximize your last day in France and go on a shopping spree in Nimes’s shopping center, the lively La Coupole des Halles. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in France.

Before you conclude your road trip in France, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Nimes.

Dine in style at Pinocchio, a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Barjoe Nîmes boasts a menu that's sure to impress.

You’ll then say farewell to Nimes. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in France!
