The Town

Discover Arles

Arles, one of the most fascinating cities in Provenza France, is the starting point of the Via Tolosana (Voie d'Arles), one of the four major historical Jacobean routes in France. Starting the pilgrimage here begins a journey through two thousand years of history. Its collection of Roman and Romanesque monuments was declared World Heritage by UNESCO. For the pilgrim, the experience begins on an awe-inspiring scene: the Roman Amphitheater and Theater, St. Trophime Church with its magnificent portico, and the Alyscamps, a Roman necropolis that was a sacred burial site. Arles is also the city that captivated Vincent van Gogh, and the walker can follow the artist's footsteps, discovering the landscapes and light that inspired his masterpieces. With a vibrant atmosphere, a rich cultural calendar, and all necessary services, Arles offers a very stimulating start to the pilgrimage. It is a monumental and artistic prologue for the long journey to Santiago through southern France.
