Arles & The Camargue Full-Day Private Tour

Arles: Roman Majesty & Van Gogh’s Muse

Begin your day in the historic city of Arles, a jewel of Roman antiquity and Provençal charm. As you walk through its sun-drenched squares and narrow alleyways, you’ll encounter architectural marvels such as:

• The Arles Amphitheatre (Les Arènes), still in use today for concerts and cultural events

• The Roman Theatre, once the heart of ancient entertainment

• The Church of St. Trophime, with its exquisite medieval façade

• Van Gogh landmarks, like the Yellow Café and Van Gogh Foundation

Arles is also famous for its vibrant local culture, Provençal markets, and the legacy of Vincent van Gogh, who painted over 300 masterpieces here in just over a year. Your guide will tailor your walk through the old town to your interests—whether history, photography, or fine art.

The Camargue: Wild Beauty on the Edge of the Sea

After Arles, journey south into the Camargue, a stunning natural region of wetlands, rice fields, and salt flats stretching to the Mediterranean Sea. Known for its unique ecosystem, the Camargue is home to:

• Pink flamingos in shallow lagoons

• Free-roaming white horses and Camargue black bulls

• Vast salt pans that shimmer in the sunlight

• Migratory birds and lush reed marshes

Enjoy a scenic drive through this protected biosphere, stopping for photo opportunities, short walks, or even a traditional manade (bull ranch) visit upon request.

Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (Optional Stop)

If time allows, your private tour may include a stop in the charming seaside village of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a place steeped in Romani legend and coastal charm. Discover the fortified church, local artisan boutiques, or enjoy a fresh seafood lunch by the sea.
