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.
