Visiting Arles
Arles is above all a city of history. Listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it is the city with the most Roman monuments after Rome. Take a stroll through the city and discover the Roman Amphitheatre, the Ancient Theatre, Constantine's Baths and the Cloister of Saint-Trophime.
Arles is also a city marked by Art. And in particular by the artist Vincent Van Gogh, who stayed in Arles from February 1888 to May 1889 and left an indelible mark. Discover his work at the Vincent Van Gogh Foundation, an exhibition space dedicated to the life of the Dutch artist.
There are also a number of museums to discover. The Musée départemental de l'Arles Antique houses numerous collections of statues, mosaics and tombs. The Musée Réattu is the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Arles. It features a collection of works ranging from the 17th century to the present day. It includes drawings by Pablo Picasso and an impressive photographic collection. The Musée de la Camargue, meanwhile, offers visitors the chance to discover the riches and challenges of this region. It is the starting point for a signposted trail exploring the flora and fauna of the Camargue, an exceptional natural area classified as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO.
The town is also dotted with a number of art galleries. A route has been set up to help you discover them while strolling through the narrow streets.
