There are currently two routes available for making the journey by high speed trains from London to Nîmes:
1: travelling via Paris can be a cheaper option, but you will need to make the transfer across the French capital between the Gare Du Nord, which is where the Eurostar will arrive, and the Gare De Lyon, the departure station of the TGV train.
2: Or if you make the connection in Lille, you can make the transfer within Lille Europe station.
When travelling between most cities by train there is only one logical option, though on other journeys there is a choice between different trains or alternative routes. If different options are available you can use the info to decide which is best for you.

ShowMeTheJourney earns a small commission on SNCF Connect ticket sales. SNCF Connect doesn't charge booking fees and is the online booking service of the national rail operator in France. It also sells tickets for direct high speed trains between France and Belgium, Germany, Barcelona, London, Switzerland and The Netherlands.
SNCF is the national rail operator in France and not so long ago it recently simplified both the range of tickets and the term and conditions of using them.
Therefore the cheapest tickets also become more flexible too.
Other improvements included a simple integration of travelling with bicycles and rail pass users being able to book reservations for national journeys, without paying booking fees.
And it also recently launched SNCF Connect as replacement for its Oui.SNCF booking service.
You can set up a low price alert to let you know when the cheapest price is available for a future journey.
Something else to look out for is that simplest way of travelling with tickets is to use the SNCF Connect App, as booked tickets can therefore be stored on your mobile device, which can then be shown to the train conductors as proof of purchase.

SNCF also operates RailEurope, which is in effect a dedicated online booking service for making bookings from outside of Europe.
If you reside outside of Europe you may discover that SNCF Connect rejects phone numbers or card numbers, but RailEurope won't do so.

Nîmes has two stations served by the high speed trains from Paris:
1: Nîmes Centre station, which has a very convenient city centre location.
2: Nîmes Pont Du Gard is located 14 km outside the city, as it is positioned on the new extension of the high-speed line, which is to the south of Nimes.
The best option for making a journey by public transport from Nimes Pont Du Gard to the city centre is to take one of the local TER trains, which call at both stations.
However, the trains from Paris Gare De Lyon to Nimes Pont Du Gard typically have connection times of around 45 mins into those trains to Nimes city centre.
Heading to Nîmes Centre station
If you will travelling by train from London to Nîmes city centre, the end-to-end journey will be much easier if you arrive at Nîmes Centre station.
But between around 09:45 (which is too soon for a connection from London) and around 16:55, all of the TGV InOui services from Paris to Montpellier will now arrive at Nîmes Pont Du Gard.
Though at around 14:40 a low-cost more basic Ouigo service departs from the Gare De Lyon to Nîmes Centre - see option 2.
So the journey options, that involve taking a TGV InOui service that arrives in Nîmes Centre, are typically those which involve departing London at around:
Departing London at 12:30 or 13:30 is recommended, because you won't then be depending on making the final connection of the day on to Nîmes.
Though when looking up this journey the ticket agents tend to include the journey options which call arrive at the edge of town station, Nîmes Pont Du Gard, even when Nîmes Centre has been specifically selected as the destination station.
At St Pancras:
Eurostar is currently suggesting that Standard Class And Standard Premier ticket holders should be at the Eurostar departure area in St Pancras International 90 mins before departure; and that Business Premier ticket holders should be there 45-60mins prior to departure.
The departure gates will close 30 mins prior to departure for Standard Class And Standard Premier ticket holders; and 15 mins prior to departure for Business Premier ticket holders.
Our guide to taking a Eurostar from London is here.
Note that London is in a different time zone to mainland Europe, it is one hour behind; hence what can seem like a discrepancy between the journey time and the interval between the departure and arrival times.
Departing from the Gare De Lyon
The Eurostar will arrive in Paris at the Gare Du Nord, but the TGV to Nîmes Centre station will depart from the Gare De Lyon.
This guide explains how to make the transfer between the two stations by RER train.
What's good to know is that the journey from stepping off the Eurostar to being on the concourse at Gare De Lyon will typically take 25-30min - depending on how long you will have to wait for an RER train.
Though the end-to-end journey options, with a total end-to-end travel time of around 6hr 40mins, will allow less than an hour between arrival at the Gare Du Nord and the departure on from the Gare De Lyon.
Something else to watch out for is that on departure from Paris, some of the trains heading to Nîmes Centre are typically joined to another train, which will be heading to Nîmes Pont Du Gard.
Hence a doubling of bookable journey options with the same departure time from London, so take care that you're booking the journey option that's heading to Nîmes Centre.
Most departures will be by the e320 trains, but the e300 trains can also be used.
It's not a scenic journey, but it is a journey with SIX distinct phases and highlights:
1: For most of the first 8 mins of the journey the trains use tunnels to exit London (Stratford International station is located between the tunnels).
2: Then from the right of the train, there are views of the River Thames marshes and of the Queen Elizabeth II road bridge.
3: The third tunnel that the train will pass through is the tunnel under the River Thames.
4: Shortly after Ebbsfleet International station (can only be seen from the right of the train) is the scenic highlight of the journey - the crossing of the River Medway.
5: The train will slow down as it approaches The Channel Tunnel.
Announcements are no longer made that the train is about to enter the tunnel.
The journey through the tunnel will take around 22 mins.
6: There is little of note to be seen from the high speed lines in France.
Final Destination: Montpellier-St Roch or Perpignan
Most trains also call at: Valence TGV
For most of the train journey from Paris to Nimes, you should be travelling at more than 270 km/h on the high speed lines.
This is not an outstandingly scenic journey, but the views from the windows pick up to the north of Nimes, as the train travels through Provence.
When looking up this journey the ticket agents tend to include the journey options that arrive at the edge of town station, Nîmes Pont Du Gard, even when Nîmes Centre has been specifically selected as the destination station.

Book Early And Save: Yes
Online bookings open: up to 6 months ahead of the travel date
This booking period tends to be shorter when looking up journeys between mid August and mid October.
Seat reservations are automatically included when booking tickets for both trains.
Your ticket will not include the RER train across Paris from the Gare Du Nord to the Gare De Lyon.
The very cheapest tickets tend to sell out particularly quickly on this route; they're more likely to be available if you can travel on a Tuesday - Thursday, or are happy to set off from London early in the morning.
When booking on Eurostar it only gives the option to enter Nimes as a destination, you cannot look up a journey to either of the specific stations in the city.
Look out for the fact that its search results also won't distinguish between the stations.

Seat Reservations on the Eurostar
Reservations are mandatory so seats are assigned when booking - But after a booking has been completed, you use the ‘Manage Your Booking’ facility, which can be easily found on the Eurostar website and select specific seats within the travel class you have chosen.
You will need to enter a Booking Reference number - but other booking agents such as Trainline, Rail Europe, SNCF Connect, B-Europe and NS International, will also include this number on the communication sent to you.
General ticket terms for TGV InOui trains
The terms on SNCF Connect state:
'Tickets can only be exchanged (adjustment to the current fare) and refunded prior to departure: 40% of the price 6 days prior to departure (€15 max fee). From 30 minutes prior to departure, tickets can be exchanged up to two times (for the same day and the same journey), and are non-refundable after the first exchange'.
Which could be clearer, but it seems as though the three key things to be aware of are:
Making the connection in Paris:
There is relatively new E.U. legislation which protects travellers against financial loss in the event of missed connections due to train delays, but it only applies to 'through tickets'.
The Eurostar terms and conditions specifically state that when booking journeys which combine Eurostar + Eurostar Thalys trains 'through tickets' will be issued.
'However, 'for all other journeys that combine a Eurostar Service and a service provided by another carrier (such as the TGV on from Paris) including when purchased in a single commercial transaction, those tickets will be separate contracts and issues regarding delays, missed connections, cancellations, compensation, and the management of aftersales will be handled accordingly'.
But SNCF, which operates the train on to Nimes has signed up to Agreement on Journey Continuation (AJC) policy for when a traveller holds separate transport 'contracts' for an end-to-end journey involving more than one train.
So this agreement applies both when 'a bundle' of tickets / contracts is issued as the result of a single transaction - and if travellers have bought several different tickets for their journey, even from different sales channels/ticket providers.
As long as the passenger had planned enough connecting time to change trains (called “reasonable connecting time”), the AJC will apply.
So in usual* circumstances, if a delay to a Eurostar has caused a booked connection on to Nimes to be missed, replacement tickets/reservations should be issued at the Gare De Lyon.
*= But that new E.U legislation specifically states that in exceptional circumstances, the train operators do not need to issue replacement tickets - and the terms and conditions on the SNCF Connect website reiterate this.
These exceptional circumstances specifically stated in Regulation (EU) 2021/782 of the European Parliament include:
Using Rail Passes:
Rail pass users can now pay reservation fees to travel on Eurostar trains, in a similar manner to other international European high speed trains.
The new rail pass reservation fees are similar to the cheapest single journey ticket prices, but as those cheapest tickets can sell out quickly, it's likely that the rail pass reservation fees will save money.
You can purchase these online on B-Europe.
Booking in advance is recommended as it's not unknown for rail pass reservations on specific Eurostar services to sell out weeks in advance, there is evidently limited availability per departure.

The first journey option of the day which involves taking a TGV InOui train on from Paris, typically involves departing from London at around 12:30 and arriving in Nîmes Centre station at around 20:10.
But this journey option typically involves departing from London at around 09:30 with an arrival into Nîmes Centre two hours sooner at around 17:45.
Though it's worth taking a look at the Train Guide for the Ouigo service, as it has a more basic on board ambience, including no first class.

The terms on SNCF Connect state:
'Ticket not refundable.
Exchange possible under conditions for the same trip with a 10€ per passenger fee until 1 hour before the beginning of embarkment. Potential price difference between old and new ticket to be added to this fee'.
So if you're considering whether to book a 2nd class ticket on a TGV InOui service, or to save money by taking a Ouigo instead, something to factor into the decision is that if you subsequently need to abandon your trip, a ticket for the InOui service can be refunded, but a ticket for a Ouigo service can't!
Making the connection in Paris:
Both SNCF and Eurostar are members of The Railteam Alliance which offers a Hop on the next available train (HOTNAT) policy.
But SNCF excludes Ouigo services from Railteam, so SMTJ's understanding is that tickets for the Ouigo will need to be repurchased, if the Eurostar arrives in Paris too late to make the booked connection.

Making the connection between the Eurostar from London and the TGV to Nîmes Centre station at Lille Europe has the major advantage of avoiding the need to transfer between stations in Paris.
You'll have to make your own way across the French capital if you choose the alternative London to Nîmes train journey option via the French capital.
This guide explains how to make the connection in Lille.
This routing to Nîmes Centre station - and with only one connection in Lille, is now only typically available when departing London at around 13:00 daily
The connecting between trains in Lille will be more than 1hr 20mins, which allows for 75 minutes of contingency time in the unlikely event of a delay to the Eurostar.
