The Roman arena here is somewhat smaller and less well preserved than the arenas in Arles and Nîmes. It was built of local stone in the first century AD and held about 10,000 spectators for gladiatorial contests, sports and water spectacles. The arena is unusual in that it was built outside of the town walls and against a hill. Entry is from Rue Henri Vadon, admission free. Open from 10 am to noon and 1:30 to 5:30 pm, November through March; 10 am to 1 pm and 2:30 to 6:30 pm, April through October. Closed Sundays.
