Fontvieille is a Provençal village in the Alpilles, surrounded by scrubland, olive groves and limestone hills. The countryside meets a heritage shaped by water and Roman history; the village makes a pleasant stop if you prefer rural walks to the streets of a large city. Arles, with its ancient monuments and old town, adds an urban and cultural atmosphere to your stay.

The remains of the Roman aqueduct are 1.1 km away and recall the structures that once supplied Arles with water. The Hypogée du Castelet, 1.6 km away, is an underground funerary monument from Antiquity. Montmajour Abbey, 4.4 km away, is a medieval monastic complex on the outskirts of Arles. Arles railway station is 5.7 km away; the city is also within reach for visits to its ancient theatre and amphitheatre, reminders of its Roman past. A car makes it easier to travel between the village, heritage sites and the landscapes of the Alpilles.

Spring and autumn are good times for walks, when milder temperatures make it more comfortable to follow the paths and visit the monuments. In summer, plan outdoor activities for the morning or late afternoon, then enjoy the pool during the hottest hours. You can combine a walk through the countryside around Fontvieille with a visit to Arles, before returning to the quiet of the garden. Those interested in heritage can spend more time at the abbey and ancient remains, while cyclists will find routes to explore in the region.
