Activity itinerary

Les Alyscamps
  • 15m
The journey through long history starts at Alyscamps, one of the most famous ancient necropolises worldwide. The large Roman burial ground consisting of tombs and sarcophagi dating to 1500 years ago offers a great chance to learn about Arles Romans’ relationship with the afterlife. Don’t forget to check out the weathered 11th-century St-Honorat chapel at the eastern end which adds to the solemn and tranquil atmosphere of the cemetery.
Arles Arena
  • 15m
Then, admire Arles’s most prominent landmark, Arles Arena. The colossal Roman amphitheatre dominates Old Town’s centre around which life has been thriving ever since 80 AD. Walking around the composing structure rewards you with an enthralling glimpse into over 20,000 excited Roman spectators watching thrilling chariot races or bloody gladiators’ fights and the bygone 'town within a town' that grew up within its walls.
Roman Theatre of Arles
  • 20m
Just a stone’s throw away is Arles Roman Theatre. The ruins which are now only half of their original size provide a precious testimony to the Roman social life in Arles. Interestingly, the stage for comedies, dramas, or tragedies that once thrived under Roman times has gained a new lease of life as a popular concert setting in present-day Arles.
Place de la Republique
  • 15m
Next, visit the charming Republic Square. The best spot for souvenir pictures in the Old Town perfectly sums up its ancient beauty with a pyramid-shaped monument and some impressive historic monuments, including the 17th-century Town Hall, Anne's Church, and Saint-Trophime Church.
Saint-Trophime Primatial Catholic Church
  • 20m
The highlight of all is the 12th-century Saint-Trophime Church, the first stop on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route. Take your time to examine exquisite sculptural and carving details depicting biblical scenes on its magnificent main portal, one of the finest examples of Romanesque style in southern France.
Espace Van Gogh
  • 20m
Then, escape into the serene garden inside Espace Van Gogh, where Vincent Van Gogh was treated after he cut off his ear in 1888. The calming atmosphere of the former 16th-century main hospital of Arles allows you to admire the green space landscaped to resemble Van Gogh’s painting "Le Jardin de l'Hôtel de Dieu" and pay tribute to the talented yet ill-fated artist.
Arles Market
  • 15m
To get immersed in Arles’s vibrant culture, try to coincide your arrival with Arles Market, one of the most beautiful and biggest Provencal markets. On Saturday and Wednesday mornings, gardeners, cheese makers, and craftsmen bring their best wares to the fair where you are welcome to taste fresh seasonal produce and regional specialities while a wide range of local handicrafts can make meaningful souvenirs for your family and friends.
