2025 Arles Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

The city of the Rhone River, where stars shine, Arles is a great place to travel in the footsteps of Van Gogh, but it is also a city that is a work of art in itself, with faded old-colored buildings, and the shadows of poplar trees and ivy. Since many tourist attractions are gathered together, it is good to travel on foot, and even if you don't visit any particular place, it is also a good place to wander through the alleys wherever your feet take you and watch the sunset over the Rhone River. 🌳 Travel time : 1 hour from Marseille Airport ⚘ Tip : If you are visiting the South of France for the first time, I recommend visiting Arles, which is close to the airport, as your first city. The Marseille station, which you usually visit for the first time, is littered everywhere and is not organized, so you may feel unsafe from the beginning of your trip. (If you leave the station and go to the tourist attractions in Marseille, it is well-cleaned and you can feel a sense of security!) #CanadaFlightEvent #France #Arles #SouthFrance #EuropeTravel #FranceTravel #SouthFranceTravel

We visited three towns in southern France, and Arles was my favorite. Not only was it the inspiration for Van Gogh, but it is also a famous "photography town" in France, hosting the Arles Photography Festival every year. You can see photography exhibitions every few steps. Although the photographers have different styles, they all have one thing in common: "They don't just record life, but express themselves." I prefer to call them artists, and their presence brings life to this town. Southern France, France

#wintergetaway Lunch at le Grand Café Malarte in Arles, France, tastes good. The restaurant staff took a certain time to remember and arrange a seat for us. It took about ten minutes before we could sit right. Drink service is good but ordering main meals during lunch takes some time. Overall, food is acceptable. #france #restaurant

"Passing by Van Gogh's fire Yare in painting and reality" It is famous around the world for Vincent van Gogh, the place where his inspiration blossomed. Here he created more than a hundred works, with the landscapes, streets and people of Arles the protagonists on his canvases. However, the fiery soul is always difficult to rest at peace. Van Gogh cut off his ears, suffered a mental breakdown, and was eventually admitted to a sanatorium. In 1888, the lonely Van Gogh moved from the gloomy northern France to the warm and bright town of South Faial, which coincided with the warmth and art he pursued wholeheartedly. The sun shines here all year round and the wheat fields grow wildly. ❤️Van Gogh’s Cafe The warm sunshine of Arles embraced Van Gogh, who created hundreds of paintings here. You may have seen the painting "Cafe at Night". The bright lights of a cafe in Arles are like brilliant orange blossoms in the dark blue night sky, full of human warmth. The successful artist's cafe is in the exquisite and tight Paris, but the cafe where Van Gogh stopped is isolated in the countryside of Arles. Most of the works created by Van Gogh during this period have a warm undertone. 💎Recommended citywalk routes for reference ▪️The streets in residential areas are beautiful and healing. ▪️L'espace Van Gogh, the former site of Van Gogh's sanatorium ▪️Le Cafe Van Gogh ▪️Arènes d'Arles ▪️The Yellow House in Van Gogh’s painting

The Rhone River in Arles, famous for Van Gogh's 'Starry Night', shine during the day and at night. On a sunny day, the water flows sparklingly, and when the dark night comes, the lights across the river sway, recalling the Rhone River that Van Gogh looked at that day. You can also see the 'Rhone River of Everyday Life', which is a path for citizens to go to work and a walking path for dogs! 🌳 Address : Arles, France ⚘ Tip : The Rhone River seen from the exhibition room of Musée Réattu is also beautiful. #AutumnHotPlace #Arles #RhoneRiver #SouthFrance #VanGogh

After two nights in Aix en Provence, my next destination was Arles. I hadn't read up or researched it. But during a conversation with someone at the hostel. It was pointed out that numerous famous artists including the likes of Vang Gogh and Picasso had taken residence in Arles at some point of time in their life. Infact, in the case of Van Gogh, it was even said to be his most productive time. Having heard of such a thing. I was very curious about Arles now. In the past many years, I keep coming across someone working on their france itinerary and asking me if they should do Arles or Aix en Provence. Now that i have done both these places. I'd say both are worth, I mean if you can stretch two more nights. Do the other place too. No doubt Aix and Provence is the biggest but i thought in terms of sights, activities and things to do, Arles seemed to have a longer list. Anywho, worst case a day trip is what it definitely deserves. I managed to visit most of the Roman ruins sights in Arles. You might wanna consider atleast the Roman amphitheater, the baths of Constantine, st trophime cloister, the Roman theater and the mediaeval graveyard. The Place de la Republique is the main square in Arles. Surrounding the square you’ll find many shops and cafes, as well as the Saint-Trophime church and the town hall. Lastly the van gogh cafe and and the foundation van gogh museum come recommended. #myhiddengems #france #arles #vangogh #cherryblossom2024 #100waysoftravel #summerdestinations #romanruins #europe

When I arrived at Arles in southern France, I thought it was just a pretty cafe and took a picture, but it turned out to be the actual background for one of Van Gogh's representative works, Cafe Terrace at Night~! In fact, when Van Gogh painted this cafe, the exterior of the cafe was not yellow, but he expressed that the cafe walls looked yellow because of the streetlights at the time, so the owner of the cafe painted it yellow to match Van Gogh's painting, so now you can see a bright yellow appearance even during the day when there are no lights. 🥰 The price is a little steep, at least 5 euros, but I think it's a good memory to sit down and have a cup of coffee at least once. ☕️ #France #Arles #Van Gogh Cafe #Pretty City #Expensive Cafe
