Arles

 

The capital of the Camargue and situated at the gateway to the Alpilles, Arles is a vibrant, historic town, rich in colour and tradition. Its narrow cobbled streets are lined with superb two-storey town houses and private mansions. At its heart, the magnificently restored arenas come alive during traditional festivals, creating a festive and authentic atmosphere.
