Arles Travel Blogs

Once in a lifetime experience to travel outside my continent with my close friends!

The Provençal countryside is well-known throughout the world for lavendar fields, vineyards, & gastronomy. On our trip, we centrally located ourselves in Arles. Arles is an ancient town, having been established by the Greeks & then taken over by the Romans. There are several Roman ruins to…

I like a lot the paintings of Vincent Van Gough and wanted to see Aeles, where he did his lat paintings.  I was not disapointed, it is a beautiful place where you can see around the country and the sky that facinated Van Gough.  But it is more than that, it has roman past that is also wot…

Arles was the first of two towns of Roman origin with several relatively intact Roman sights. The first thing we saw on the way into town from the car park was the colosseum. It is in very good condition and it was exciting for me to finally see one that actually looked more or less like it did all…

     We departed Paris and flew into Marseille for the drive to Nice.  As a side trip, we headed to Arles which had been settled by the Romans.  As the bus slowed down, our middle-schoolers started cheering and getting excited.  Yes, I thought.  They are finally s…

I took the train from Avignon to Arles, which takes about 20 minutes. I have a map from one of my guidebooks that makes finding my hotel look super easy. I figured I'd drop off my 20lb backpack and then go exploring. I was wandering around for a good half hour not being able to find any of the stre…

I went with my orchestra to France for a week. We played several concerts in Provence and the Alps. We also got to see the beautiful countryside and Roman ruins which are integrated into the modern towns.

Nîmes, Avignon, Arles...

Our summer trip to the South of France (Arles and Camargue) and to Cadaqués, a small village on the Spain coast which seems to be out of this world.

Camargues is a country specialized in the horse-breeding and bull-breeding.

Flew to Barcelona, drove around the NE Spanish countryside, stopped in Andorra, Valencia for the Festival of Fallas and to France to visit Carcassonne and Marseille

This trip was a blast, my cousin Nathan and I drove through Europe in a Peugeot 206. We went 17,000 klm in just 21 days. From Italy to Spain, to the Netherlands and back to the UK. It was a great trip and I miss France the most.

Un des plus beaux villages de France, that's how Les Baux de Provence strikes its breast. Without doubt, this is an exceptional place. Perched on a rocky spur, the citadel overlooks some staggeringly beautiful countryside dominated by vinyards and rocky mountains. This is the heart of the Chaine de…

My trip through (mostly) Western Europe!

Ahhh, Provence. What I love the most about Provence is the dry hot weather and the sounds of the "cigales". You can spend all your time outside enjoying the views there.
