About Arles

See the historic south of France city that captivated Van Gogh and where he painted his iconic Cafe Terrace at Night, which is still there today and now known as Cafe Van Gogh. Arles is also known for its illustrious Roman past and its remarkably intact Roman amphitheater, Les Arènes, which was once the scene of gladiator combat and is now home to bullfighting and concerts. Visitors should also hit the Van Gogh trail, a walking tour of the city marked by plaques which takes in spots where Van Gogh set up his easel to paint canvases such as Starry Night over the Rhône.
