Recenter Map To This Location

Arles, abounding in character, is a truly lovely city whose growth is governed by the banks and curves of the Rhône. It has fierce ties to its Roman past when it thrived as a strong port city and gateway. Arles is glorified because of its magnificent Gallo-Roman arenas and theaters in the heart of the old city. This is a city to explore on foot: it is fun to wander through the narrow maze of winding streets that weave through the old section. Bullfights and festivals are still staged in the magnificent Amphithéâtre, or arena, able to accommodate in its prime more than 20,000 spectators. (Open Jun to Sep all day, Oct to May seasonal hours.)
