Arles can be explored between the Rhône and the landscapes of the Camargue, with an old town marked by Roman remains and traces of Van Gogh. The barge is on Rue Jean Charcot, in an area where the river and its quays bring a different pace to your visit. It suits travellers drawn to heritage, museums and walks in a Provençal city with a strong historical identity.

The Arles Amphitheatre, a Roman amphitheatre still used for events, is 1.6 km away. The Musée de l’Arles antique displays the city’s archaeological collections, while the Alyscamps necropolis lets you explore an ancient burial site lined with sarcophagi. The Pont Van-Gogh evokes the landscapes painted by the artist. Arles railway station is 2.3 km away; Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 18 km away. Free public parking on site makes it easier to get around by car.

For your first day, you can visit the Roman monuments and museums, then head to the quays for a walk in the late afternoon. In fine weather, you can take trips to the Camargue, known for its ponds, birds and wide-open landscapes; plan to have a car to explore the surrounding area. In summer, festivals and events bring the city to life, while spring and autumn often offer milder temperatures for walking around the old town. Markets and Provençal specialities round off a visit to Arles in any season.
