🇫🇷 Arles: A UNESCO World Heritage City Walk

✨ "In the end, I chose Arles over Sainte-Croix—drawn by its Roman stones and Van Gogh’s ghost. This quiet town, still humming from the photography festival, unfolded like a sun-bleached canvas." 🎟️ Must-Know Tips Passes: €19 for 10 sites / €15 for 4 sites + museum + gallery July-Sept: Don’t miss the Arles Photography Festival—the whole city becomes an open-air exhibit! Stay: Near Pl. Paul Doumer—everything’s a 5-min walk. 🏛️ Roman Treasures (UNESCO-Protected!) 1️⃣ Arènes d’Arles – Gladiators once fought here; now it hosts bullfights. 2️⃣ Théâtre Antique – A 2,000-year-old stage where whispers linger. 3️⃣ Cloître Saint-Trophime – Carved medieval serenity. 🎨 Van Gogh’s Arles L’Espace Van Gogh: His asylum courtyard, unchanged since 1889. Fondation Van Gogh: Two originals + contemporary homages. Secret Spots: Wander without maps—his Yellow Café, Rhône riverbanks, and sunflower fields find you. 📸 Art Beyond Paintings LUMA Arles: Futuristic tower meets Provence light (see my last post!).
