Tarascon is a Provençal town on the banks of the Rhône, opposite Beaucaire. Explore its old centre on foot, along lanes, stone façades and buildings that recall its history as a fortified town. King René’s Castle overlooks the town, while the squares and shopping streets give everyday life a southern French feel. It is a good stop for travellers looking to combine heritage, walks and excursions to the landscapes of the Alpilles or the Camargue.

Tarascon Castle, a notable medieval fortress on the riverbank, is open to visitors, with its rooms and views over the Rhône. Sainte-Marthe Church and the old gates are landmarks along a route through the old town; the Souleïado Textile Museum tells the story of Provençal fabrics. The amphitheatre and Roman remains in Arles make for a cultural day trip, about 12 km away. Tarascon railway station, 1.7 km away, connects the town with the surrounding area; Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 19 km away. Beaucaire, across the Rhône, offers more to explore on both riverbanks.

In spring and autumn, temperatures are well suited to sightseeing on foot and trips to villages in the Alpilles. Summer brings considerable heat and bright evenings for dining on a terrace; it is best to plan visits to the historic centre for the morning or late afternoon. You could start the day at the castle and in Tarascon’s lanes, continue to Arles and its ancient monuments, then finish by the Rhône. Landscape lovers can set aside another outing for the roads through the Alpilles or the open spaces of the Camargue.
