    Arles Arena (pass by)

    The most iconic and awe-inspiring sight in Arles. Nearly 2,000 years old, this amphitheatre once hosted gladiators and now hosts bullfights and festivals. It’s fully visible from the outside and immediately sets the tone: Arles is ancient, proud, and still alive.

    Cafe Van Gogh (pass by)

    Set in the lively Place du Forum, where Arles’ ancient Roman forum once stood, this vibrant yellow café is best known as the subject of Van Gogh’s Café Terrace at Night. Today, visitors can stand on the very spot where the artist painted, taking in the same scene that inspired one of his most iconic works.

    Saint-Trophime Primatial Catholic Church (pass by)

    This Romanesque church has a carved portal that’s a masterpiece of medieval sculpture—all visible from the outside. The surrounding square is Arles’ civic center, flanked by the Hôtel de Ville and an obelisk salvaged from Roman ruins.

    Espace Van Gogh (pass by)

    Formerly the hospital where Van Gogh recovered, this now-public courtyard is tranquil, flower-filled, and incredibly photogenic. It offers a human, quieter side of Van Gogh’s story—more than just a painting.

    La Roquette (pass by)

    A vibrant maze of narrow lanes, pastel facades, hanging laundry, and quiet charm. Once the “wrong side” of town, now a locals’ haven of artists, families, and cats. No monument—just soul.
