Arles is a Provençal city on the Rhône, known for its Roman heritage and links with Vincent van Gogh. The old town combines pale stone buildings, lively squares and narrow streets; you can visit ancient monuments, churches and museums. The city suits history and art lovers, as well as travellers who want to discover the landscapes of the Camargue. The hotel is in the Barriol area, south of the historic centre.

The Arles Amphitheatre bears witness to the Roman era and still hosts events. The Museum of Ancient Arles displays artefacts discovered in the region, while the Hortus garden draws on the design of Roman gardens. In the centre, Espace Van Gogh recalls the painter’s stay in the city, and the Réattu Museum houses art collections in a former priory. Arles railway station provides train connections to the city; a car can be useful for exploring the villages and natural areas of the Camargue. The Rhône and its quays also offer a pleasant walking route.

In spring and autumn, temperatures are often suitable for walking tours and excursions nearby. Summer brings a livelier atmosphere and hot days, so it is best to visit the ancient sites in the morning or late afternoon. You can combine a day exploring the old town and its monuments with a visit to the landscapes of the Camargue, with its marshes, lagoons and wide-open spaces. The Rencontres d'Arles photography festival, held every summer, also draws visitors to the city’s heritage sites.
