Nimes Amphitheatre under a metre of floodwater.

RH at Nimes. August 2008. I presume this is the Nimes Amphitheatre? It looks less well maintained than below —

Last time I was at Nimes Amphitheatre, the City had been due to hold a bullfight event, which of course is a regular occurrence in this southern French Provincial Cité. But when I turned up on my bicycle possibly in 1982, en-route to my new home in the Midi-Pyrenées or perhaps some years later during an adventure outing, the whole 'stade' was closed off following flooding the day(s) before, up to 1 metre depth. I felt really angry about the bull-fighting, and thought it was some kind of 'Divine Intervention' giving some small glimpse of how things ought to be .... Cancelled & Off.
