Fontvieille is a Provençal village in the Alpilles, surrounded by landscapes of scrubland, fields and limestone hills. Its streets and stone houses give the town a southern French character, while its local history is linked to the mills celebrated by Alphonse Daudet. The village suits travellers looking to alternate walks, heritage and excursions into the Provençal countryside without staying in a large city.

The village tower and La Vieille Font can be discovered on a walk through Fontvieille. Vélorail des Alpilles offers a trip along a former railway line, providing a relaxed way to explore the landscape. Montmajour Abbey, a medieval monastic complex on the outskirts of Arles, is 6 km away. The Arles Amphitheatre, a Roman-era landmark still used for events, is 7 km away. Fontvieille train station is 500 m away; Arles offers further rail connections and a historic centre to explore on foot.

Spring and autumn are good seasons for walks in the Alpilles, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. You can spend a day combining a stroll through the village, a visit to the mills and a trip to Arles, whose Roman monuments and museums are worth taking time to see. If you plan to explore the paths around Fontvieille, bring suitable footwear and water, especially on summer days. The region is also well suited to car trips between villages, heritage sites and agricultural landscapes; Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 22 km away.
