Highlights Of The Alpilles & Arles Full Day Private Tour

Set off on a full-day journey through the Alpilles and Arles, discovering the authentic charm of Provence along with its artistic and Roman heritage. This experience blends history, culture, and landscapes, offering a rich overview of southern France. Rolling olive groves, limestone hills, and sunlit stone villages form the backdrop of this region.

Saint-Rémy-de-Provence is a charming Provençal village with a lively historic center, shaded squares, and a relaxed atmosphere typical of the Alpilles. The town is closely associated with Vincent van Gogh, whose presence still marks its ambiance. Just outside the center lies the ancient site of Glanum, where two Roman monuments can be admired: the Mausoleum and the Arch of Glanum, standing as reminders of the area’s ancient past.

Perched on a rocky outcrop, Les Baux-de-Provence offers a striking setting with narrow stone streets, traditional houses, and views over the Alpilles. A major highlight is the renowned Carrières de Lumière, vast former stone quarries transformed into an immersive art venue, where monumental projections are displayed on the quarry walls.

The tour also features Arles, a city celebrated for its Roman heritage and cultural life. Here, Roman landmarks coexist with places linked to Van Gogh’s time in the city. Art and architecture lovers will appreciate LUMA Arles, a contemporary cultural site whose bold design contrasts with Arles’ ancient monuments. Its lively streets, cafés, and markets give the city a warm and authentic Provençal feel.
