Maison Carree

I've spent part of this weekend searching the internet for cool places to travel too.  Not that I have any particular plans, but I wanted to see what was out there. 
I knew the Romans were in France (Gaul, back then) for a long time but I always sort of imagined them not investing much in the local communities, especially if those communities weren't Roman.  But clearly I'm wrong.
Maison Carree looks sweet.  I really love history, and how cool is the name Marcus Agrippa?  (Especially the Agrippa part.)  Apparently someone use to live in that temple, well after the Roman Empire fell, and I'm terribly curious as to who lived there.  (Also: where can I get me digs like that?)
