Lycée Alphonse-Daudet by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

Lycée Alphonse-Daudet, named after a local 19th-century novelist (and virulent anti-Semite), is a public secondary and higher school originally founded in 1883 as the lycée de garçons de Nîmes. The complex itself dates to the early 19th Century and originally served as a hospital; it has been renovated several times, with the clock and rotunda carving added in the late 1880s by the architect Auguste Augière.

The spire of the Église Saint-Paul can be seen on the right edge.
