Itinerary
Here you are in the summer garden of Arles which separates the boulevard des Lices from the ancient theatre.
Just a stone's throw from the amphitheatre, here's the theater! It is less well preserved than its neighbour, but hey, it is a century older you will tell me, but at their ages we are not 100 years old!
From here, we will take Vauban Street to reach our next point of interest, while remaining focused on the city center.
The arch, which you see here, is one of the few remains of an ancient and important abbey.
This small church, built on top of the hill, is that of Our Lady of the Major.
Arriving in Major Square just next to the church, you have a very nice panoramic view of the Arlesian rooftops and the surroundings.
Let’s get serious with the magnificent Arles arenas. It is the most visited monument in the city.
You have arrived at the Forum Square. Van Gogh immortalized it in popular memory by painting on canvas coffee Night.
You cannot miss it, you obviously pass the Van Gogh Foundation.
You have, at the end of this impasse, the disused church of the preachers brothers. It is a Gothic church of the 15th century.
The Roman remains you are now observing are the Baths of Constantine. Not much remains, but they are among the best preserved Roman baths in Europe!
You now arrive on the banks of the Rhone. So, in addition to having inspired the painting “Starry Night on the Rhone” of our impressionist friend, know that here, was found in 2008, the bust of Julius Caesar, face against vase 6 m underwater!

About Arles
Arles, a Provençal city on the Rhône, is known for its Roman arena and theatre, for Van Gogh, and for the wild marshes of the Camargue to the south.
Arles stands on the Rhône where the river splits into two arms to cross the Camargue, in Provence. Under the Romans it was a major city, and a first-century amphitheatre, the Arènes, still seats thousands for bullfights and concerts. The Roman theatre, the baths of Constantine and the stone tombs of the Alyscamps are listed by UNESCO. Vincent van Gogh lived here in 1888 and 1889 and painted the Café Terrace at Night on the Place du Forum.
