Arles

Arles has been called "the soul of Provence," and art lovers, archaeologists, and historians are all attracted to this town on the Rhône. Many of the scenes and famous artworks painted so luminously by van Gogh depict this delightful town and surrounding area. The great Dutch painter left Paris for Arles in 1888. He went on to  paint some of his most celebrated works in this Provencal town of Arles.

The Greeks are said to have founded Arles in the 6th century B.C. Julius Caesar established a Roman colony here in 46 B.C. Under Roman rule, Arles prospered. Constantine the Great named it the second capital in his empire in A.D. 306, when it was known as "the little Rome of the Gauls." It wasn't until 1481 that Arles was incorporated into France.

Arles has enough antique charm to keep the appeal alive. Its first-rate museums, excellent restaurants, and summer festivals (such as the early June international photography festival) make it a rewarding place to be.
