Jewel of the Rhone
With its bright sunlight and azur sky, Arles has inspired (and still inspires) many artists, including Van Gogh. Arles boasts more than 2000 years of history, displaying a rich roman and ancient heritage among wich the antiquet theater, the Arenas, St-Trophime cloister or Alyscamps roman necropolis... Arles lives to the rythm of its traditional holidays, its Camargue bull races and bull fights, its market which is one of the biggest and most beautiful market in Provence ...

The cloister in short...
Xiith century cloister of provencal roman style adorned with sculptures representing biblical figures.

The amphitheatre in short...
These roman arenas are listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. Gladiators fights and hunting scenes used to take place there at gallo-roman times

A vertigo fortress
In the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional des Alpilles, the city stands on top of an impressive rocky outcrop overlooking Camargue. Encircled by two vertiginous ravines, the medieval city proudly displays its narrow alleys lined with shops, small squares and shaded terraces. The city also boasts a historic and architectural heritage refelected by Les Baux Castle St. Vincent square and church... Cradle of bauxite, fiefdom of The Grimaldi, princes of Monaco, source of inspiration for French poet Frédéric Mistral and last dwelling of painter Yves Brayer, les Baux-de-Provence are definitely worth the visit...

The panorama in short...
Breathtaking panorama over the village of Les Baux and the region.
