Arles, France Map and Travel Guide


Arles' ancient Roman and medieval monuments form a UNESCO world heritage site in Provence. They've been incorporated into the town, and the Roman arena and theater are still used for performances. Noted residents of Arles include artists Van Gogh and Gauguin.

The new Archaeological museum, built in 1995 in an area that was the remains of a Roman circus, will put everything in context.

Besides the Roman Arena and the museum, the other big sites are marked on the map: The Baths of Constantine and the Antique Theater. You'll also want to see the Eglise St-Trophime, built between the 12th century and the 15th century. You can see lots of medieval carvings in the cloister, for which there is a charge (the church is free).

The area with the tangle of streets just to the east of the N113 is my favorite neighborhood, La Roquette, which has a laid-back family vibe and was an interesting medieval neighborhood that retains its character.
