Meet your private guide in central Arles in time for a 9am or 2pm departure (depending on option selected). Traveling by private vehicle, soak up the scenery on the around 30-minute journey to Baux de Provence, a picturesque village perched on a hilltop at 803 feet (245 meters).
Follow your guide on a walking tour of the historic center, where highlights include the Museum of Santons, the 16th-century Hôtel des Porcelets, and the Romanesque style St Vincent Church. Then, enjoy free time to browse the shops, take in the views, or view the audiovisual show (ticket not included) in the famous Carrières de Lumière (Quarry of Light).
Continue to Saint Rémy de Provence to admire the ‘Antiques’, a series of impressive Roman ruins which include an ancient mausoleum and Triumphal Arch. Hear how the monuments were painted by Saint Rémy’s most famous former resident – Van Gogh – and drive past the Saint-Paul de Mausole, the mental hospital where he stayed for over a year. You’ll also have chance to see several other sites immortalized in Van Gogh’s paintings.
On return to Arles, your tour ends back at the departure point around 1.30pm or 6pm.
