E9 : Arles + Les Baux + Saint Rémy de Provence

You will have a day in the heart of the Alpilles mountain range, cultural center of Provence. We’ll start the day in Saint-Rémy de Provence where Van Gogh was hospitalized and where Nostradamus was born (we’ll take a pause). We’ll drive then by the Antics roman ruins that are still here after 2000 years, to reach the cloister Saint-Paul-de-Mausole (visit optional) and other sites Van Gogh painted during his stay in the psychiatric hospital (we’ll take a 30 min pause).
After a break for lunch, you will visit the medieval village of les Baux de Provence on its rock. We’ll then go to Arles (we’ll walk 2 hours) visiting the historic Gallo-Roman Center kept as a UNESCO heritage site. You’ll discover the Roman Amphitheatre (visit optional), the Ancient Theatre (visit optional), the Republic Square, Saint-Trophime Church, the Town Hall and the Forum Square.
Across the town, you’ll see 5 different scenes Van Gogh painted: The Draw Bridge, The Yellow House, The Starry Night on the Rhône River, The Outside of the Café at Night and The Garden of The Hospital where he was treated after cutting his ear off.
