Arles Théâtre Antique

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. The Théâtre Antique, although apparently a ruin by day, becomes a lovely stage on summer nights under the soft lights of the Festival d’Arles.

(Open Jun to Sep all day, Oct to May seasonal hours.)
