Founded by the Romans over two thousand years ago, <strong>Arles boasts an impressive Roman heritage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (including the amphitheater, the theater, and the Baths of Constantine), and possesses a unique light that captivated painters such as Van Gogh and Gauguin<\/strong> .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The city seems to be just as <strong>Van Gogh<\/strong> and <strong>Gauguin<\/strong> left it, with its two- or three-story houses, rickety wooden shutters painted blue, cafes with charming terraces, some fifty art galleries, small bookstores, antique shops, etc. Only the immense Roman amphitheater seems to stand out in this city where nothing is out of place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During our stay in Arles, we will have the <strong>opportunity to stroll through the small city and discover its most beautiful corners; we will visit the spectacular Amphitheater, the Theater and the Cryptoporticus, three jewels of the Roman era; we will be able to admire the exterior of LUMA Arles, the impressive and disruptive tower by Frank Gahry<\/strong> , etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THE CAMARG<\/strong><br \/>\nFlat and dotted with lagoons and marshes, <strong>the Camargue is a world apart<\/strong> . This vast wetland is a fantastic place to escape the hustle and bustle of the coast, whether exploring the trails on horseback, canoeing along the reed-filled canals, or seeing its famous flamingos. It&#8217;s a region steeped in tradition and culture, preserved by the <em>gardians<\/em> (cowherds) who herd the local horses and celebrate their own festival in Arles every May.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The medieval town of <strong>Aigues-Mortes<\/strong> was once France&#8217;s leading Mediterranean port. Located in the heart of the Camargue-du-Gard region, it resembles a true medieval fortress, with nearly two kilometers of walls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Sunday we will have the <strong>opportunity to enjoy a 2-hour walk through the Camargue Ornithological Park, the largest wetland in Europe, and we will visit<\/strong> <strong>Saintes Maries de la Mer<\/strong> and <strong>Aigues-Mortes<\/strong> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A spectacular and comprehensive weekend in Arles , a beautiful city of Roman origin and Van Gogh&#8217;s refuge;
