The garden and outdoor furniture let you sit outside to read, chat or take a break. A picnic area adds to this space, while the shared lounge provides a place to relax indoors. You can choose from several activities on site: a game of billiards, a few rounds of darts or some time in the games room. Board games and puzzles are also available.

The bar and on-site café provide places to meet, and a continental breakfast is served. The shared kitchen lets you prepare your own meals. Family rooms are available for those travelling with family, as are non-smoking rooms. Luggage storage and lockers make it easier to store your belongings, and daily housekeeping helps keep the spaces tidy. The hostel also has meeting or reception rooms and an indoor play area.

Arles is a Provençal city shaped by its Roman heritage and the landscapes of the Rhône and the Camargue. You can explore its old town on foot, among narrow streets, squares, ancient remains and stone façades. The city suits visitors who enjoy alternating between heritage, museums and walks, amid a southern French atmosphere marked by markets and café terraces.

The Arles Amphitheatre, a Roman amphitheatre still visible in the cityscape, is 800 m away. Alyscamps, an ancient tree-lined necropolis, is 510 m away. The Arlaten Museum presents Provençal history and traditions; the Gate of Augustus recalls the city's former fortifications. Jardin d'été offers a shady break between visits. Arles railway station is 1.6 km away, and Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 18 km away.

For a day out, you can spend the morning visiting the monuments in the centre, then visit a museum before taking time to wander through the streets and gardens. Spring and autumn often make it easier to explore the sites on foot in milder temperatures; in summer, plan outdoor visits for early or late in the day. Arles is also a gateway to the Camargue, where marshland landscapes and natural areas offer a different side of Provence.
