Camping Filament (20 minute walk). We found it pleasant and convenient, mostly bungalows in quiet green areas, with a large pool - it is not at all full before July 15. Their website does look Disney-like - but it is not, outside full summer season.

If you check AirBnB or similar, search for Thoiras area, or near Lasalle - postal codes 30140 30460. (You may need to have or share a car for this - or bike...)

 

TRAVEL

 

Travel - The best access is by the NIMES Centre train station + bus to the Gare de Thoiras stop (bus 112 at the back of the Nimes train station - one hour journey.) Let us know your arrival time in Thoiras (with your cell phone number): we will come and pick you up, 10 minutes by car)

NIMES train station. Train from Paris (3 hours), from Marseille airport (1h30). Or from Barcelona (4 hours).

Translation & Cosmopolitics: The festival has always included at least three languages (English, French, Spanish, often Italian.) Each event will have a 'main' language depending on the participants. We will do our best to ensure that there is a friendly inclusiveness. It is impossible to translate everything. Shows will have synopses, lectures will include translation breaks AND summaries, etc.
