Places to visit in the old city of Arles


Arles is a town in the south of France, in the former Provence region.

It is the perfect place to wander around with its narrow streets.

Old shops and cafes and the old church of St Trophime.

In the town you can find several good antique shops.

We came down in the car but if you want to fly you can find some good deals on flights here

One of the advantages of having a car is you can visit the nearby Camargue. Just up the river from Arles the Rhône river splits into two forming the Camargue delta.


Langlois Bridge Arles
