Arles

Walk through living history in Arles, the soulful Provençal gem immortalized by Vincent van Gogh and one of the best-preserved Roman cities in Europe, where the majestic Roman Amphitheatre (still hosting bullfights and concerts), the ancient Théâtre Antique with its marble stage, and the towering Cryptoporticus underground galleries reveal the grandeur of Roman Arelate, while the serene Cloître Saint-Trophime and its exquisite Romanesque sculptures stand as a masterpiece of medieval art.
Follow in Van Gogh’s footsteps along the Van Gogh Trail with reproductions of his iconic works painted in Arles (The Yellow House, The Starry Night over the Rhône, Café Terrace at Night), wander the atmospheric Luma Arles contemporary art campus in the former railway workshops, explore the lively Saturday market bursting with fresh Provençal produce, olives, lavender, and cheese, or simply relax on the banks of the Rhône River with a pastis and the gentle Provençal light that inspired the greatest artists—all in a compact, walkable city that perfectly blends Roman grandeur, artistic legacy, and warm Mediterranean charm.

Savor fresh ratatouille, aioli with crisp vegetables, tapenade, and crisp rosé amid lively cafés, golden stone façades, and the unmistakable rhythm of a city that feels both ancient and eternally alive.

Arles isn’t just a destination—it’s the beating heart of Provence, a living canvas of Roman glory and Van Gogh’s genius—plan your Arles escape today!
