Arles, in Bouches-du-Rhône, is a Provençal city shaped by its Roman heritage and the Rhône. Its historic centre brings together old streets, shady squares and buildings from different periods. Architecture, photography and heritage enthusiasts can combine urban walks with museum visits. The city is also associated with Vincent van Gogh, who lived here and painted several of his works.

The Arles Amphitheatre offers a chance to discover the architecture of a Roman amphitheatre that remains part of city life. Nearby, the cloister and Saint-Trophime Cathedral are examples of Provençal Romanesque art. The Réattu Museum, housed in a former grand priory, displays works of art and photography, among other things; the Arlaten Museum explores regional traditions. Arles railway station is 1 km away, and Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 18 km away. The centre is easy to explore on foot, while a car makes it possible to reach the landscapes of the Camargue.

Spring and autumn offer pleasant conditions for visiting the monuments and natural areas nearby. In summer, the heat makes it worth planning visits for early in the day and saving the hottest hours for a break in the shade. You can start the day at the ancient sites, continue at a museum and finish with a walk along the Rhône. Travellers staying longer can set aside another day for the Camargue, known for its lagoons, birds and open landscapes.
