Located along the Rhône, Arles was once a Roman provincial capital. Its well-preserved amphitheater still hosts plays, concerts, and bullfights, while the Fondation Vincent van Gogh exhibits works inspired by the master’s prolific time here.
Modern meets ancient at the LUMA Arles Foundation, housed in a dazzling Frank Gehry-designed tower sheathed in 11,000 reflective steel panels. Rising from a former railyard, the site now hosts cutting-edge art installations and creative programs both indoors and outside.
Just a short drive away, Nîmes dazzles with its Roman architecture and rich history. Often called the “French Rome,” the city is home to the Arena of Nîmes, the Maison Carrée temple, and the awe-inspiring Pont du Gard aqueduct.
