Nîmes
The motto inscribed on the pediment "NE QVID NIMIS" (nothing too much) dates from the humanist 16th century. Although converted in the 17th century, the courtyard features Renaissance decorations.
The oldest part of this mansion dates back to the 15th century, but several periods of history have left their mark on the building.
