This former Nîmes railway site is enjoying a second life with this project, which is part of the transformation of the Avignon route where Tram line 2 is deployed. ” I am happy because this project proves that Nîmes is developing and its residences are the link between the city center and the Chemin-bas district of Avignon, said Jean-Paul Fournier. Families and students will find a quiet place close to the heart of the city here. Nîmes has not finished developing and shining through France and the world. ”
