Highlights
  • Amphitheatre (les Arenes) - The Arles Arena is a Roman amphitheater constructed around 80-90 AD by the orders of Emperor Domitian, as part of the Flavian expansions of the city. The amphitheater of Arles stands as the most significant monument of the ancient Roman colony that we can still admire nearly two millennia after its construction. In Arles, as in the entire West, the amphitheater was, from the end of the 1st to the middle of the 3rd century, the most prominent symbol of Romanization.

  • Theatre Antique - The ancient theater of Arles was built at the end of the 1st century BC, during the reign of Emperor Augustus, shortly after the founding of the Roman colony. Construction began around 40/30 BC and was completed around 12 BC, making it one of the first stone theaters in the Roman world.

  • Les Antiques - The Antiques: iconic monuments of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, representing the Arc de Triomphe and the Mausoleum, which once marked the entrance to the city of Glanum.

  • St. Paul de Mausole - The Saint-Paul-de-Mausole monastery is a Provencal Romanesque style monastery from the 11th century, located in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in the French department of Bouches-du-Rhône in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. A masterpiece of Provencal Romanesque art dedicated to Saint Paul de Mausole, it has been classified as a historic monument since 1883 and is renowned for having hosted and inspired the Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), who stayed there for a year in 1889-1890 to create a significant portion of his work.

  • Saint-Remy-de-Provence - A major cultural and historical site, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence encapsulates all the charm of Provençal living, attracting both celebrities and visitors seeking rejuvenation. Like many artists, wander along the shaded boulevards, narrow streets of the historic center, and small squares adorned with fountains.

  • Les Baux de Provence - The prestigious Cité des Baux-de-Provence, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking stunning ancient landscapes filled with vineyards and olive trees, is part of the exclusive group of the Most Beautiful Villages in France. It features charming cobbled streets lined with Renaissance mansions leading up to the Château esplanade. The town boasts 22 architectural elements classified as Historic Monuments, including the fortress, a unique testament to the rich and tumultuous history of the city in the Middle Ages. Its strong cultural and heritage identity, known worldwide, makes Baux-de-Provence “the beacon of Provence.”
