Pocket travel guide - A Great Weekend: Arles & the Camargue - 2022 Edition | Hachette

A handy little guide for visiting the Camargue region over a weekend.

A weekend-friendly guide for exploring Arles and the Camargue, with an excursion to the nearby Alpilles mountains.

In this new guide:
-Arles, the Roman city and its ancient monuments, but also its Provençal charm and its ultra-contemporary district symbolized by Frank Gehry's LUMA tower. An itinerary of the places that inspired Van Gogh, a dive into the lively Roquette district... Everything that makes up the atmosphere of this multifaceted city.
- At the gateway to the Alpilles, the Benedictine abbey of Montmajour and Alphonse Daudet's windmill, for a glimpse of the hinterland.
- A discovery of the delta landscapes and traditions of the Camargue and the Petite Camargue: the bird sanctuaries and their colonies of flamingos, the bull and horse farms, the salt marshes with incredible colors, not to mention the wild beaches.
- And of course our favorite places, our unique experiences and a wide choice of nature activities to experience a truly GREAT Weekend:

• Trails to follow on foot or by bike.
• Equestrian centers to explore the Camargue on horseback, whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider.
• The most beautiful manades where you can stay.
• Our selection of restaurants, craft shops, and gourmet stores (olive oil, Vin des Sables, Arles sausage, etc.).

These addresses have all been carefully tested and selected by Maud Simon, globetrotter and author of numerous guides, with the help of Romain Boutillier, a photographer who lives in Arles.
