The programme

In the city of Arles, Van Gogh found the inspiration for some of his masterpieces. It deserves to be visited for this reason alone. Do you recognize the café “Le Soir”? It was the subject of his painting “Café Terrace at Night”. Here's a clue: it still stands at 11, Place du Forum.
Follow our guide into the old town, where you'll immediately see the Roman amphitheater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Cathedral of Saint-Trophime, a masterpiece of Romanesque Provençal art.
You'll have free time available, to taste a few French culinary specialties, including the local spiced sausage.
In Saint-Rémy, you can admire the church of Saint Martin and the elegant buildings in the town center. This is the birthplace of Nostradamus. A writer, astrologer, and pharmacist, he was known internationally for his enigmatic and apocalyptic prophecies. No spoiler: your guide will tell you all about them.
