Arles (Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur)

On the edge of the Camargue Regional Nature Park, in the Bouches-du-Rhône département, Arles is a Provencal city much appreciated for its UNESCO-listed ancient and medieval remains. With its narrow flower-lined streets, Provencal atmosphere and artistic soul, Arles captivates visitors with its exceptional lifestyle.

Nicknamed the “Little Rome of the Gauls”, Arles was an important Roman colony in Antiquity, and even became an imperial city under Emperor Constantine. In the Middle Ages, Arles became the capital of the Kingdom of Arles, before becoming the residence of the first Counts of Provence. With its picture-postcard landscapes and honorary UNESCO classification, Arles today attracts people from all over the world to marvel at its impressive historical remains.

Arles' monuments bear witness to major historical periods. Among the city's must-sees are the arena, inspired by Rome's Colosseum, the ancient theater, the cryptoporticus, Constantine's baths, Saint-Trophime cathedral and more. Thanks to its charms, Arles has attracted many artists, including Van Gogh, who produced over 300 drawings and paintings here.

Arles overlooks the Camargue, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, as well as the Alpilles Regional Nature Park, ideal for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The city also boasts a vibrant cultural life, thanks in particular to the Rencontres de la photographie, a prestigious event that has become one of the world's leading photo festivals.
