Maison du Protestantisme

Maison du Protestantisme is an architecture spot in Nîmes, serving as a community and cultural centre for Protestant life. It brings together Protestant parishes and the city’s chaplaincies. The building began as a seventeenth-century convent school run by the Ursulines, linking education with its early history. In the nineteenth century, the Reformed Consistory received the building. Today, the United Protestant Church of Nîmes uses this former school for religious activities, community meetings, and cultural programmes. Local associations and tourist groups can also use the centre. Public conferences, seminars, exhibitions, book fairs, Thursday meals, literary circles, and film screenings form part of its programme. Public discussions address ethics, faith, and society. A hall provides space for coffee, tea, conversation, visitor questions, research assistance, and contact with local Protestant activities. A volunteer team welcomes visitors during the centre’s opening hours. Maison du Protestantisme connects Nîmes’s Protestant heritage with present-day meetings, learning, and public cultural life.
