Provence Art & History Tour: Arles, Saint-Rémy & Les Baux
Embark on a journey through the heart of Provence, blending Roman history, artistic heritage, and charming hilltop villages.

Begin in the ancient Roman city of Arles, where you’ll explore remarkably preserved sites such as the arena and amphitheater, dating back to the Roman Empire. Follow in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh, who created some of his most iconic works here. You'll visit the renowned Café Van Gogh, a setting immortalized in his paintings.

Next, continue to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the birthplace of Nostradamus. Just outside town, visit Saint-Paul de Mausole, the former monastery-turned-hospital where Van Gogh spent several months and painted many of his masterpieces.

Conclude your day in Les Baux-de-Provence, a stunning 11th-century hilltop village with sweeping views and medieval charm. For those interested, there's the option to experience the immersive Carrières de Lumières light and art show—an unforgettable multi-sensory experience inside a former stone quarry.

This full-day tour offers a rich blend of history, art, and culture set against the timeless beauty of Provence.
