About this activity

⚠️ New vehicle from March 2026!

Hello dear visitor, my name is Arnaud and will be your native Guide of this magnificent Provence. Among the 5 tours I offer, I take you today to Arles and its surroundings.

We will first go to a breathtaking viewpoint on Les Baux de Provence, a medieval village built on a rocky promontory. You will then see the fabulous image show of the Quarries of Lights, former place of limestone extraction. You will come out with stars full of eyes!

Afterwards, we will stop at Moulin Castelas to visit the mill and taste several olive oils, before picnicking under the fig trees, excellent fresh produce from local farms.

We will then stroll through the city of Arles, where you will discover its Roman, medieval and contemporary history.

Finally, you will have free time in St Rémy de Provence, to stroll through its alleys, on the terrace of coffee or in its souvenir shops.
