Arles is the last city along the Rhône River before it forms the delta of the Bouches-du-Rhône and flows into the vast horizontal landscapes of the Camargue. A privileged city during the Roman era, Arles still reveals the majestic remains of its glorious past today.
The magnificent Amphitheatre, the Ancient Theatre, and the Alyscamps Necropolis bear witness to the city's strategic and commercial importance during the Late Empire. To delve into Roman life, a visit to the Antique Museum of Arles is a must. This collection of archaeological treasures offers a captivating insight into the history of the city, elevated to the status of an imperial residence.
Along the cobbled streets, the majestic Sainte-Trophime Cathedral stands with its elegant silhouette. A gem of Romanesque architecture, it reveals an invaluable treasure: the Sainte-Trophime Cloister, adorned with striking sculptures, offering a true invitation to contemplation.
Arles also embodies the quintessence of Camargue tradition. Every year, the city passionately celebrates bullfighting traditions during the famous Feria de Pâques and Rice Feria.
In July, a Photography Festival blooms, while from November to January, the International Santon Fair lights up the city with its artisanal creations.
Whether for its rich historical heritage, its vibrant traditions, or its picturesque environment, Arles promises an unforgettable experience where every moment reveals the timeless magic of Provence.
