Arles is first and foremost a city of heritage monuments that can best be appreciated on foot or on bicycle. The three museums in the city offer regularly scheduled events, and expositions are organized all year round at a variety of sites : public halls and galleries, chapels, hotels, restaurants, etc. The Maison des Associations (municipal club house) offers a wide variety of activities (clubs, lessons and courses, etc.).

Arles is also a good trip for families.

Arles is also a city of traditions and festivities. Not a month goes by without an important event of some kind, and all year round theatrical, musical, art and photography shows are organized...

The city also has an exceptional climate and is at the hub of a vacationland with a variety of landscapes situated within 30 minutes of the town center : once across the bridge you are in the Camargue, in less than 15 minutes you can be contemplating the Alpilles or the Crau.
