Description
Experience the stunning Provence region in France, a source of inspiration for the renowned Vincent Van Gogh, during this enriching day trip that includes visits to Arles, Saint-Rémy, and Les Baux.
Day Trip to Arles, Saint-Rémy & Les Baux
We will meet you at the designated tourist office in Aix-en-Provence to embark on a scenic journey lasting approximately one hour towards Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a site steeped in history.
Upon arrival, our first stop will be Les Antiques, notable Roman structures that mark the entrance to the ancient city of Glanum.
You’ll then have time to wander through the quaint streets of Saint-Rémy and uncover its hidden gems. A visit to the replica of Van Gogh's bedroom at Saint-Paul de Mausole (entry not included) is highly recommended. This charming town is where Vincent van Gogh was hospitalized. If your tour occurs on a Wednesday, don't miss the chance to explore the local market, bursting with vibrant colors and flavors.
Next, we will proceed to Les Baux-de-Provence, where a magnificent fortress awaits at the summit of the Alpilles. The panoramic views of the surrounding countryside are truly mesmerizing. In this locale, you can also opt to experience the spectacular sound and light shows at the Carrières des Lumières (ticket not included).
Finally, we will journey to Arles, another notable city linked to Van Gogh. The picturesque landscapes you encounter will evoke memories of his artworks. Here, visit the iconic Roman amphitheater and, if your visit is on a Saturday, take advantage of the opportunity to explore the lively Provencal market.
Our day trip spans 8.5 hours, concluding as we return to the initial meeting point.
