The Fourchon district is away from Arles’ historic centre, in a more open part of the city. Arles combines Roman heritage, Provençal lanes and cultural life; the city attracts history enthusiasts as well as visitors keen to discover the landscapes of the Camargue. A stay here lends itself to exploring the city as well as cycling or walking in the surrounding area.

Ancient remains feature prominently in the urban landscape. The Arles Amphitheatre, 3.2 km away, hosts events and bears witness to the city’s importance in Roman times. The Alyscamps necropolis, 2.5 km away, is an ancient burial avenue lined with sarcophagi and trees. The Musée de l'Arles antique, 3.1 km away, displays collections relating in particular to Roman history and the Rhône. Arles railway station is 4 km away; it provides train connections to the city, while a car makes it easier to visit the region’s natural sites.

For a day in the city, you can spend the morning visiting monuments and collections, then take time to wander through the old streets and discover the central squares. Summer brings heat and crowds, while spring and early autumn are often better suited to walks. Nature lovers can plan an outing to the Camargue, known for its wetlands, birds and flat landscapes. Cycling and hiking also offer an active way to explore the area around Arles.
