Activities & Leisure:

• A vast natural environment to explore: After visiting the sumptuous Abbey of Montmajour, you enter the Alpilles. Dominated by the site of Les Baux de Provence, the luminous massif is surrounded by sunny and peaceful villages, where, between vineyards and olive trees, Provence, eternal and dreamy, defies time...

• An exceptional fauna and flora, which, protected by the Nature Reserve and the Regional Nature Park, make it a nature sanctuary, an inexhaustible site for hiking, biking, mountain biking, in which you can discover a vast choice horseback riding, and the wild nature of the Camargue with the National Ornithological Reserve (its pink flamingos, its horses, etc.).

• A rich historical heritage: The discovery of Arles is a walk through time to discover its architectural treasures listed as World Heritage of Humanity. (The amphitheater, the theatre, the cryptoporticoes, the Alyscamps, the thermal baths, the church and the cloister of St Trophime), but also not far from there, other monuments (the palace of the popes of Avignon, the arenas of Nîmes, the Pont du Gard…),

• Majestic rivers: In Arles, the river delta opens up. Its two arms, the Grand Rhône and the Petit Rhône, are navigable, offering fluvial tourism the most unprecedented of discoveries in the Camargue.

• An interesting cultural heritage: Its language, its Museon Arlaten, created by Frédéric Mistral, its costumes, its Queen, its Arles women make Arles the capital of Provençal culture. This tradition, maintained by many groups, is shared by enthusiastic crowds during the festivals of Arles: the feast of the Gardians, the election of the queen, the satin race, the Pegoulado, the costume festival, the beginnings of rice, the international exhibition of santonniers, etc.

• A hectic festive season: Traditional celebrations, Easter Feria, lyrical shows, “les Suds, à Arles” music festival, peplum film festival, etc.

This dream region combines all the advantages. Artists and poets were not mistaken in choosing to reside there (Pagnol, Cézanne…). All the cities there (Arles, Avignon, Nîmes, etc.) evoke the sun and the singing accent, the beaches of Saintes-Maries de la Mer, the Camargue cruise, the Vaccarès and the Camargue symbolise freedom and wild nature.

The Alpilles, to the northeast, extend over 25 km dominated by the site of Les Baux-de-Provence. This mountain range is surrounded by sunny and peaceful villages between vineyards and olive trees (Fontvieille with Alphonse Daudet's mill and its horse and carriage rides, Saint-Rémy, Avignon and the Palais des Papes, Nîmes and its arenas, the bridge Gard, Arles and its culinary specialties…). The central and famous points are St Rémy and Les Baux, very popular villages for hiking. The Alpilles are made up of scrubland, rocky ridges, a tormented but fairly low relief and many typical villages of Provence
