Just where the Rhône river splits into the sea, Arles sits as a wonderfully well-kept UNESCO World Heritage Site. This town has medieval character intertwined with Gallo-Roman ancestry and architecture. Visitors are captivated by the large squares, museums and narrowly winding stone streets. Dating back to the 7th century BC. Visit the 12th-century Romanesque Cathédrale Saint-Trophime d’Arles and Saint-Trophime Cloistre. Art lovers appreciate the strong presence of Van Gogh. Many shops line the Place du Forum and the Place de la République. The Santons des Santonniers is a must-see during winter. Famous museums include Arles Antiques Museum and the Roman arena, theatre, tunnels and forum. Take a refreshing break under giant cedars and along winding pathways in the park near the playground.
