  • Rencontrez votre guide local anglophone
  • Le matin, nous viendrons vous chercher à l'office de tourisme d'Aix en Provence. Vous rencontrerez votre chauffeur/guide anglophone qui vous expliquera l'itinéraire et le programme de la journée. Montez ensuite à bord de votre véhicule climatisé haut de gamme et effectuez votre visite en petit groupe en compagnie d'un guide local.
  • Visite de la ville d'Arles
  • Découvrez la Cité Historique d'Arles, cité fortifiée classée au Patrimoine Mondial de l'UNESCO. Participez à une visite pédestre du centre historique pour visiter les monuments les plus emblématiques de la ville dont les Arènes, le Théâtre Antique ou encore l'église Saint Trophime.
  • La ville et les sites romains
  • L'amphithéâtre romain fut construit à la fin du Ier siècle au nord de la ville. Il fait partie d'une extension générale d'Arles et fut construit à la même époque que les thermes. Il est plus grand que celui situé à Nîmes et pouvait accueillir jusqu'à 25 000 spectateurs. Des jeux antiques s'y dérouleront jusqu'à la chute de l'Empire romain.
  • La construction du Théâtre Antique fut ordonnée par l'empereur Auguste. Il pouvait accueillir jusqu'à 10 000 spectateurs à la fois. Il n'en reste qu'une partie mais il reste l'un des mieux conservés de France.
  • Utilisé comme théâtre jusqu'au début du Ve siècle, il servit ensuite de carrière pour la construction de l'église paléochrétienne Saint-Etienne. Au XVIIe siècle, la célèbre Vénus d'Arles fut lors de fouilles archéologiques découvertes précoces.
  • Le Forum Romain
  • Situé à l'intersection du Cardo (axe nord-sud) et du Decumanus (axe est-ouest), le Forum romain d'Arles est constitué d'une grande place dont il ne reste que deux fragments. Ce qui est intéressant dans le Forum d'Arles, ce sont les fondations car il est construit sur un cryptoportique, c'est-à-dire un couloir ou passage couvert.
  • Les cryptoportiques étaient connus pour être utilisés comme aires de stockage dans d'autres villes, mais celui d'Arles est cependant trop humide pour un stockage prolongé et a peut-être servi de caserne pour les esclaves publics.
  • Sur les traces de Vincent Van Gogh
  • Durant son séjour à Arles entre février 1888 et mai 1889, Vincent Van Gogh exécute environ 300 peintures et dessins. Les endroits de la ville où l'artiste a posé son chevalet sont signalés par des panneaux représentant ses toiles. 
  • Saint-Rémy de Provence
  • Arrivée à Saint Rémy de Provence, l'un des plus jolis villages de la région. Le village est connu pour être un haut lieu de l'été pour les parisiens chics, mais il est néanmoins possible de trouver quelques pièces tranquilles au sein du village, car il y a de nombreuses petites places disséminées un peu partout. Après la visite, temps libre pour la découverte personnelle et le déjeuner. Pour votre information, il y a un magnifique marché de Provence le mercredi.
  • Les Baux de Provence
  • Vous prenez la route pour la région des Alpilles, célèbre pour ses vignobles et ses oliviers. Vous rejoignez le village médiéval des Baux-de-Provence, perché sur un éperon rocheux, d'où vous aurez une vue imprenable sur la campagne provençale environnante. Profitez d'un peu de temps libre pour flâner et explorer les ruelles étroites, les galeries d'art et les vestiges d'une forteresse du Xe siècle.
  • Après la visite du village des Baux de Provence, nous retournerons à Aix en Provence et ce sera la fin de nos prestations.

  • Discover the Historic city of Arles, a fortified town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Participate in a walking tour of the historic center to visit the most emblematic monuments of the town including the Amphitheater, the Antique Theater or Saint Trophime church.
  • The Roman City & Sites
  • The Roman Amphitheater was built at the end of the 1st Century to the North of the town. It is part of a general extension of Arles and was built at the same period of time as the baths. It is larger than the one located in Nîmes and could welcome up to 25.000 spectators. Antique Games will be held within until the fall of the Roman Empire.
  • The building of the Antique Theatre was requested by Emperor Auguste. It could welcome up to 10.000 spectators at a time. Only part of the Theater remains but it is still one of the most well preserved in France.
  • Used as a Theater until the beginning of the 5th century, it was then used as a quarry for the construction of the paleo-christian church of Saint Stephen. In the 17th century the famous Venus of Arles was discovered during early archeological digs.
  • The Roman Forum
  • Located at the intersection of the Cardo (north-south axis) and the Decumanus (east-west axis), the Roman Forum of Arles is made up of a great square of which only two fragments still exist. What is interesting about the Forum in Arles are the foundations as it is built on a cryptoporticus, which is a covered corridor or passageway.
  • The cryptoporticus were known to be used as storage areas in other towns but the one in Arles is, however, too damp for prolonged storage and may have served as a barracks for public slaves.
  • On the Footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh
  • During his stay in Arles between February 1888 and May 1889, Vincent Van Gogh executed about 300 paintings and drawings. The places in the city where the artist set up his easel are marked with panels representing his paintings. 
  • Saint-Rémy de Provence
  • Arrive in Saint Remy de Provence, one of the prettiest villages of the area. The village is known to be a summer hot spot for chic parisians, yet it is still possible to find some quiet areas within the village, as there are many small squares scattered all over.  After the visit, free time for personal discovery and lunch. For your information, there is a beautiful Provence Market on Wednesdays.
  • Les Baux de Provence
  • Drive to the Alpilles mountain region that is famous for its vineyards and olive trees. Reach the medieval hilltop village of les Baux-de-Provence built on a rocky spur and from where you will have a breathtaking view of the surrounding Provence Countryside. Enjoy some free time to stroll and explore the narrow streets, Art galleries and the remains of a 10th century fortress.

  • The Roman City & Sites
  • The Roman Amphitheater was built at the end of the 1st Century to the North of the town. It is part of a general extension of Arles and was built at the same period of time as the baths. It is larger than the one located in Nîmes and could welcome up to 25.000 spectators. Antique Games will be held within until the fall of the Roman Empire.
  • The building of the Antique Theatre was requested by Emperor Auguste. It could welcome up to 10.000 spectators at a time. Only part of the Theater remains but it is still one of the most well preserved in France.
  • Used as a Theater until the beginning of the 5th century, it was then used as a quarry for the construction of the paleo-christian church of Saint Stephen. In the 17th century the famous Venus of Arles was discovered during early archeological digs.
  • The Roman Forum
  • Located at the intersection of the Cardo (north-south axis) and the Decumanus (east-west axis), the Roman Forum of Arles is made up of a great square of which only two fragments still exist. What is interesting about the Forum in Arles are the foundations as it is built on a cryptoporticus, which is a covered corridor or passageway.
  • The cryptoporticus were known to be used as storage areas in other towns but the one in Arles is, however, too damp for prolonged storage and may have served as a barracks for public slaves.
  • On the Footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh
  • During his stay in Arles between February 1888 and May 1889, Vincent Van Gogh executed about 300 paintings and drawings. The places in the city where the artist set up his easel are marked with panels representing his paintings. 
  • Saint-Rémy de Provence
  • Arrive in Saint Remy de Provence, one of the prettiest villages of the area. The village is known to be a summer hot spot for chic parisians, yet it is still possible to find some quiet areas within the village, as there are many small squares scattered all over.  After the visit, free time for personal discovery and lunch. For your information, there is a beautiful Provence Market on Wednesdays.
  • Les Baux de Provence
  • Drive to the Alpilles mountain region that is famous for its vineyards and olive trees. Reach the medieval hilltop village of les Baux-de-Provence built on a rocky spur and from where you will have a breathtaking view of the surrounding Provence Countryside. Enjoy some free time to stroll and explore the narrow streets, Art galleries and the remains of a 10th century fortress.
  • After the visit of Les Baux de Provence village, we will return to Aix en Provence and that will be the end of our services.
