12 days in Arles Itinerary

Remote, uneventful, but definitely not a waste of time, Arles is absolutely steeped in Provençal culture.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Abbaye de Montmajour and Moulin de Daudet. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like St-Trophime Cloister (Cloitre St-Trophime) and Eglise Notre-Dame des Sablons. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Arles: Musee 1900 (in Arpaillargues), Un Siecle de Roulottes (in Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie) and Uzes Cathedral (in Uzes). And it doesn't end there: stroll through Les Marais du Vigueirat, step into the grandiose world of Chateau de Tarascon, view the masterpieces at Fondation Vincent Van Gogh Arles, and contemplate the long history of Les Alyscamps.
