A truly wonderfully preserved example of an ancient Roman amphitheatre. You can walk around freely and really explore this amazing venue and imagine how the place must have been in the ancient times. Wonderfully preserved and in great condition. If you are lucky you can even visit when they have concerts and other events here.

Visiting the Ampitheatre in Arles is like embarking on a mesmerizing journey through time. This ancient Roman amphitheater holds a captivating aura that transports you back to a bygone era. The grandeur of its architecture and the rich history it embodies make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and those seeking to immerse themselves in the past. Exploring the Colosseum allows you to imagine the spectacles and events that once took place within its walls, igniting your imagination and leaving you in awe of the ancient world. If you have the opportunity, visiting the Colosseum in Arles is an unforgettable experience that brings history to life.

The Arles Amphitheatre is a remarkably well-preserved Roman building, showcasing the architectural prowess of ancient Rome. Over the last 200 years, it has been meticulously conserved and partially rebuilt, offering visitors a glimpse into its historical significance. While there are many steps to navigate, especially for those wishing to visit the towers, a short climb grants access to the main seating area, where you can soak in the atmosphere of ancient spectacles. It's fascinating to note that the site is still in use for modern events, adding to its allure. An essential visit for fans of Rome and anyone interested in experiencing history come to life.

A very well preserved arena! Would have liked to see more history/information but still lovely nonetheless. Incredible structure that makes one feel a great sense of wonder!

Very well preserved Roman building. It was conserved and partially rebuilt over last 200 years. There are a LOT of steps, if you want to visit the towers. But a short climb gets you to the main seating area. The site is still in use for modern events. Essential visit for fans of Rome.

This is an excellent example and pne of over 200 Roman amphitheaters throughout Europe. The entry price is very reasonable and on my friday visit there were very few people. Its a must see if you are in the area

90 A.D. is when the Romans built the structure that is still used today. We walked around in the rain and for the most part we stayed dry walking through the arches and hallways.

A reasonably well-preserved place with a hint of modernity. Historical object that is used today with little modification. A beautiful place with a soul, you can feel the history here.

Colosseum's always fascinate me so I enjoyed walking through. Fortunately I didn't have to pay because it was French historical day so that was excellent. If it costs more than €10 and your limited on funds, maybe reconsider because it's still great to see it from the outside as well. But definitely worth checking out if you can.

It’s always impressive to see this kind of architecture even from outside only. The old town surrounding the arena is cute. Tons of cool architecture in the narrow streets.

Visiting the Amphitheatre in Arles is like a trip back through time. While there are other similar relics (think the colosseum in Rome) I doubt any other is as well preserved, as accessible as uncrowded. The morning we were visited there were multiple tour groups (the river cruises docked that morning) but they were tiny given the capacity of the Amphitheatre. Our first visit to a Roman relic of this size and it was amazing - a real trip backwards in time. This alone was worth the trip to Arles. A must see!

Walking around it is enough to get a fine idea and feel for the place. The interior is not as impressive. There are plenty of other things to do and visit in Arles. If your time is limited, just walk around and keep enjoying the town. There are some great restaurants across the arena to enjoy the view.

Super interesting. They have a map/illustration of how the amphitheatre became a walled city during middle ages. People moved in, built homes, a plaza, a church! The entry points became city doors. Must visit. There is an amazing little restaurant right outside (sorry, can't remember the name!) but the food was magnificent. Here is my monkey "Lenin" enjoying the sun!

No long wait till you can get in. Good for younger people if you want to climb up. Good for photography. Great piece of history

The arena at Nîmes is wonderful but the arena at Arles simply knocks it out of the park. What is left after the Arlésiens mined it for stones to build other things is incredibly well preserved. You can climb right up to the top seats and get a wonderful view of the town.

Small entrance out the front, so queue can be long. It’s a massive amphitheater which was cool however not much to see, just going up and around. So you won’t need a lot of time here. Would be a bit challenging for children and older people with the steps and lack of safety.

Ancient Roman ruins almost intact. Gladiators fought for freedom. Easy to find from the town square with plenty of cafes, small restaurants and some retail outlets. Toilets 🚻 are found in the square. Colino1861 recommended ✅️

The amphitheater in Arles is amazing, as is the city itself. We enjoyed every minute here. Everything in the city has Roman history which I really liked. Any recommendation for visiting Arles, its sights, as well as small wonderful cafes. definitely pay attention to the fact that Van Gogh also lived and worked in this city, so you will be able to find a lot of postcards and other souvenirs with his works, and you can also visit the cafe that Vincent painted.

I was happy to stay in Arles for a few days. My wife and I were among the first to visit the museum. Extremely beautiful. Lots of artifacts. A beautiful ship, a statue of Caesar that attracts you very much. Very impressed.

Beautiful museum to visit. It shows the Roman history of Arles and its position as port in ancient times. It's cheap too if you use the combi ticket to visit other monuments in Arles. Most text is in French only, but there are some important texts that are also in English and there is an English folder to give context to the rooms and objects.

An interesting museum going into the background of the Romans. Probably one to two hours of wandering. Some amazing mosaics from floors of villas along with a wooden boat that was actually pulled up from the bottom of the Rhône. A bit tuned towards French but enough English for us to understand. Nice stop.

Great museum on Roman history in Arles. The models are exquisite. Get the audio tour if you are English only!

Fascinating display highlighting the history of Arles from the Late Neolithic through the decline of the Romans. So many New discoveries just in this century like the 30 m barge uncovered after a flood in the Rhône in 2002. Most descriptions are not in English so I would suggest getting the auto guide which was excellent. Loved the open and spacious building layout conducive to letting your eye lead you to the next interesting exhibit. I did not find the large area of sarcophagus at the end very interesting but the tiles were. Great bargain with the Arles monument and museum pass, Take “A” bus for 1 euro from George Clemenceau Boulevard.

Many amazing objects displayed, sadly only 10% with English text explained, the rest French. We took the English audio guide, which was a disaster. An old woman with a shaky British accent, talking very old fashioned...it was painful to hear. Her text was also so unexciting. There are only 19 tracks, but like +1000 objects are displayed in the museum. Better not to use it at all and just look around. The boat is the masterpiece of the museum, for that 4 stars

A must see in Arles... What I did not exactly like is the audio guide. I think it could have been done better. Other than this, the museum is very nice. The main attraction is the roman commercial transport ship found in the Rhone. The documentary regarding the restauration of the ship is amazing.

Amazing museum where the galo Roman history seems in motion again. You will discover what was life behind the legacy of the magnificent monuments of this important Roman city and country side. Facing the facts that life was not so different from ours and how sofisticted and organized the roman world was (fluvial transportation and outstanding restauration to highlight as you will see). Because somewhere, we are all the barbarian heirs of that glorious civilization which has been able for centuries to integrate the best of all their comptempory world (Greek, Egyptian, Celtics, Persian, Iberian, African etc.) and unify all those people for the glory of what Rome was simbolizing to all. A real achievement that no other nation or empire has been able to realize since...

A wonderful experience the Roman boat was worth the trip alone Wow incredible a must see if you’re anywhere near the area. Looking forward to coming back.

Whao... we visited many roman museums but we were shocked by this one and saw unseen things... lots to see and enjoy within a modern space... the boat is just incredible... Nice welcome... Great and easy parking... be ready to be taken away from time and spend hours there... hey people thanks for your smiles

Beautiful museum showing a lot of history. Great for kids too. Great visit. Self guided with audio guide possible

One of the best ancient museums in the south of France. The place is rich at unique historical exhibits including a huge original boat which was found on the bottom of the lake nearby. I do recommend buying a city pass as it provides a very good discount for this museum and several monuments as well as other museums.

Worth the short walk from the centre, this stunning museum has remarkable reminders of the Roman past of Arles. The early Christian sarcophagi are just wonderful and I've never seen anything like the cargo ship recovered from the river bed.

Very interesting museum. It's worth a visit

Located just outside the old city of Arles...about a 15 minute walk from the edge of the city or a 4 minute drive...this is a spacious and modern museum focusing on the Roman history of Arles. While the show case is the old freight barge recently unearthed and proudly displayed I found the models representing the important structures within Arles to be more fascinating as it gave a sense of scale and perspective. The museum does not take a lot of time to walk through, about 30-45 minutes and if you are into Roman history than it is certainly a worthwhile visit. PARKING: There is small lot on site (about 40 spots) + an additional lot up the street (less than 5 minute walk) for another 65 spots. If during peak season and you had already found a parking spot in the city, I would think it would be better to walk from the city than to attempt finding a parking spot.

You can buy a 11 euro ticket that covers the arena and this theater. Both together are worth the price. However, if you have seen the arenas in Nîmes then Arles and the arena may seem the same. Theater is good and more fun when the Arles festival is on (we came here a few years back during the festival and it was more fun).

You can buy 2in1 ticket for visiting Roman Theatre and Amphitheatre. We did so, and we were very happy. Both of them are amazing.

Wow what a place , it was a really great place to visit , Also to be able to touch the huge boulders of marble & granite they used to build it in the first place was amazing . The detail that is still on a lot of the stones is amazing . There’s a small charge to enter but it’s worth every penny . I think if you’ve got kids they will also enjoy visiting here .

This place is so peaceful and relaxing even in a normal day like Monday. We spent a quiet 30-45 min visit. Our son spent the entire time drawing while we talked and soaked in the reach history of the place.

At the time of our visit in December it was quite cold and the site was empty, which added positively to the experience. It is hard to imagine how this theatre looked 2000 years ago but thankfully there are some models to help illustrate. The semi-circular seating area surrounds a stage (that used to be 3 stories+ in height). We tested the acoustics of the theatre and it was amazing, one person standing on the stage could be clearly heard throughout the seating area. It was a lot of fun (and easy since no one was on site at the time). The site itself does not offer more than the opportunity to see the structure but it was worthwhile when exploring the other ancient sites in Arles. NOTE: The cost, at the time of writing, was 9 Euro for this site...but we opted for the 12 Euro FOUR site visit pass where you can visit any of 6 different sites within Arles. If you are in Arles to explore its history, then this is a worthwhile cost; as well as all the other sites being within easy walking distance.

Right across from the arena (and part of the 9 euro general ticket) this is a lovely ancient theatre. Aside from the theatre area, there are some alcoves with broken pillars with cool details that were really interesting. It was neat to sit on the stone seats and imagine what it must have been like for people to have done the same (but watching live entertainment) over the past two millennia. Crazy to think that the site was built way back around the first century.

I apprehended the show when friends announced that they booked and paid for the tickets before our arrival to Arles. When we got there the day before, we were bitten by mosquitoes all over our legs hands necks faces you name it! I was terrified at the thought of feeding mosquitoes for 3.5 hours. Also the fact that I attempted to watch The Ten Commandments when I was young and never got through 50%. I feared I would fall asleep after an hour! Our friends anticipated the hard stone seating aka roman theatre and lent us each a cushion to sit on and another for our back to lean on. Very kind gesture. I anticipated with 2 bottles of mosquito spray for everyone. We arrived just before it got dark, chose to sit in the middle and on the highest row. Then we noticed many people came with cushions, blankets, and even a picnic basket. There were mosquito sprays at the entrance for those who needed. The show preluded with the master of ceremony introducing the annual events and also had a quiz on The Ten Commandments creating a hilarious response from the crowd. He sollicited participation from the spectators with questions like how did Egyptian women react when they were happy or when they laughed or when they were heartbroken. He explained how long the screening would take and that a break would be expected to enable the spectators to relieve themselves or to buy drinks and snacks. We expected to fall asleep, much to our surprise we stayed awake watched every minute. The sound and lighting systems were superb the ambiance kept our eyes on the screen all the time. Everyone anticipated the effects on the screen when Moses cut the sea into two!! The show ended past 1 am with a more than happy crowd! I certainly recommend this experience in Arles! A must!!!

The Roman theater is just behind the amphitheater, I have fews photos here because I didn’t get in Because I feel it’s just like the amphitheater. But you can visit here if you buy the Advantage pass full price 16 euro.

Very interesting to walk around. Sadly just ruins, no information boards and a €9 entrance fee.

The Saint-Trophime Primatial Catholic Church is a stunning architectural gem, with construction dating back to the 12th century. While some of the tapestries may appear faded, this only adds to the church's charm and historical allure. A notable feature is the vast collection of relics of saints, securely locked away behind metal bars in a church alcove, offering a glimpse into the religious significance of the site. Like many churches in France, Saint-Trophime is adorned with numerous statues and paintings depicting standard components of Christianity, contributing to its beauty and spiritual atmosphere. Overall, a very beautiful and enriching visit for those interested in history and religious art.

The sculptures over the church's portal, depicting the Last Judgement, are considered some of the finest examples of Romanesque sculpture. I forgot to go to the cloister—will do next time

Beautiful church that apparently began construction in the 12th century. Many of the tapestries appear quite faded but I think that adds to the charm and history. There is actually a huge collection of relics locked away in a church alcove behind metal bars. Otherwise, as with many other churches in France, there are tons of statues and paintings depicting stardard components of Christianity. Very beautiful.

Beautiful church with amazing sculptures. A place of calm from the crowds outside. Well worth a visit.

This cathedral is World Heritage with beautiful and meaningful sculptures and paintings.

The Cathedral of St. Trophime (Trophimus / Cathédrale Saint-Trophime in French) is a Roman Catholic church and former cathedral built between the 12th century and the 15th century in Arles.

Beautiful historical chruch, great stone carving in front of main entrance. It's just next to Hotel De Ville, that's the city hall of Arles.

Gorgeous old church! You can really feel the history. It's also loaded with relics and tapestries. You start to feel like you're on a pilgrimage or a quest in a video game.

Very quiet, contemplative space. Some pretty stained glass and a few tapestries.

Free to visit. The garden is splendid!

As a Vincent Van Gogh fan, it is so interesting to visit here and compare with his painting. This place remain perfectly as the painting. Lovely!

Good free spot for pictures. The area is opened later (at least 7pm30) than the exhibition which I did not visit. Hard to get pictures look like Van Gogh painting in the summer because of the leaves of the trees. Lack some bench to have a seat but there is a cafe downstairs. The stairs are at the right of the entrance. There is a shop selling really cheap post cards.

It's nice how it is still being used in some way today.

Nice place for a short break for culture… visited the Wim Wenders exhibition.. friendly stuff👍

Really beautiful area with a lot of flowers. Van Gogh was inspired by this charming place when he drew some of his paintings. There's not much to do in here, but it's a nice and comfy place where to rest for a bit while looking at the flowers.

It's a psychiatric hospital in downtown Arles where Gogh was hospitalized. I think it would be good to have a time to talk about Gogh while eating sandwiches in the inner park.

Even though it is painted intentionally for tourists, but it's a lovely place🥰

beautiful park. people are relaxing there. If you come when the sun is up, you can see why Van Gogh painted this place.

A historical building, originally is a hospital, where Vincent Van Gogh was stayed for three times. One of Van Gogh famous painting was drawing this place. Nice garden, especially in summer time when flower blossom.

If roman architecture is your thing don't miss it. A little note, there are only three descriptions panels on site, mostly in French, so an advise could be to read on the subject before going down to enjoy the herculean works. The visit consist of ambling in a massive underground structure, (in terms of volume of stones moved and carved with precision), to level the slope of the hill, so it could hold the constructions that came above, i.e the forum, the government official buildings and temples (all of which have disappeared, (except for 2 columns left in an adjacent building). A good place to ponder and reflect on the Roman power and architectural mastery. They made things to last for centuries, as if they were building eternity 😅. You can visit the place in a few minutes or take your time to enjoy their ingenuity and know-how.

Went during the annual photography exhibition. Cool venue, as in quite literally a cool getaway from the French summer heat, but also cool atmosphere.

Fun to check but a bit fast to finish ( 15 min) and not enough explication about the city. Also no explication in English which is a shame.

To find it, enter city hall from the square, then turn left. Once down below don’t hesitate to wander around or follow dark corridors, it has its hidden surprises. Watch your step.

I really enjoyed visiting these well preserved crypts underneath Arles. There’s a few posts there with some information written in French, but if you don’t understand French you can read all about the crypt’s on the internet.

Remarkable survivor from Roman times. Very large basement area under Town Hall Square. There are interpretation boards at entrance, which is rather hidden INSIDE the Town Hall. Pay to enter. Short set of stairs down. Very large u-shaped area of vaulting, pillars and storage below. There is some natural light from roof, but it is dark, and a torch could be handy. There are a few bits of statuary but not much else other than the structure itself.

Interesting for a short time but needs more explanation. What was stored there? Was it a water source? Basically a large slightly damp basement.

Not much to see other than the tunnels themselves but an astonishing achievement to have been built. Worth a visit.

With very warm and friendly reception staff, this place, so cool in the summer heat, is a must for any Ancient Rome aficionado. I loved it, though with almost non-existent signage, no back story illuminated in any meaningful way to a lay visitor, I can understand people questioning the €4.50 entry fee to see, in parts, "damp cellar" dripping water. An opportunity gone begging, one could say, but still worth the visit due to its condition (for me, even better than Nero's cement cryptoporticus in Rome) and one can always google additional info.

If you are into Roman history then do visit, if not then you can skp this....but if it is a hot day this has some natural air conditioning.

Very nice monastery, must see

Best information boards, layout of Abbaye and surroundings I have seen in a long time. Information boards are in different languages and you can truly immerse yourself back into time at this beautiful Abbaye. I like to visit these places in the winter when there are no tourists around when it can offer a peaceful feeling of what life was back centuries ago. Peter was super helpful and passionate about history when answering my questions and all staff was very nice and helpful. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to really immerse yourself in this gem. Thank you for a wonderful morning!

Nice place to visit, just on thing strange, all the rooms are empty of furniture. For once a free parking.

Nicely renovated, rebuild from scratch, after some time will represent a very old historic structure. American tourists will adore it.

Very beautiful abbey especially the cloisters. Great views from the tower, but a steep climb. Highly recommended

Kind of hopped in here by accident on our way to Arles. But ended up spending some time here exploring the building and learning its history. Enjoyed it, was a pleasant surprise

Magnifique abbaye. 2 monastries from different periodes. Beautifull view from the hill and especially from the tower

Nice place to visit if you are interested in medieval architecture and monks history. The installation with music was something to experience. Stuff is very helpful and nice.

Breathtakingly large but easy to navigate in a short amount of time. A must stop!

A small modern museum with many artists. Worth visiting

Beautiful works but Van Gogh and other artists. While the Van Gogh pieces may not necessarily be congruent with those of the more recent artists, they are individually quite fantastic.

Good exhibition space and facilities housing 5 of Van Gogh’s paintings along with many others depending on the show curated at the time. Air conditioning and locker facilities, as bags not allowed. €10 entrance (concessions available).

It was great, I got many pictures for Instagram. It was a nice experience overall but it lacked a nice terrace. It was mid

We had a wonderful visit to the Fondation and afterwards to the Residence. Great to see artists new to us and know they are supported. A special thanks to Justine who showed us around the Residence. Thoroughly enjoyed the engaging interaction.

Really enjoyed this exhibition. I struggled with the abstract works but overall it was really worth checking out. Bags should be placed into lockers, free to use. Wheelchair accessible. Toilets on site.

The place is quiet close the everywhere, and this museum part of some Van Gogh’s work also got extra exhibitions for the young artists

In the gallery you can see some (not so many) works by Vincent and read about and admire the painting van Gogh was most satisfied with: “Sower With Setting Sun” which is quintessence of his style. There is also a fantastic exhibition of Niko Pirosmani, who was inspired by Vincent. From the terrace on the roof you can enjoy the beatiful view of Arles. If you expect Fondtation Vincent to be a gallery like Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, you will be deeply dissapointed, but be ready for a unique experience at a price of 9 Euro per person.

Superbly curated gallery in the heart of charming Arles. Don’t listen to the naysayers, anyone with an ounce of culture will love this place. 7 Van Gogh originals - more than enough for one day - are complemented by an arrangement from Laura Owens, including some of her own artwork, much of which has been inspired by Vincent. In addition wallpaper sourced from Winifred How, a little known art student from early 20th century London, and even soundscapes. Make a beeline for the hidden terrace on the rooftop which affords scintillating views of the town.

Lovely quiet and contemplative space in Arles, 5 of Van Gogh s tableaux plus other expos. If you are in the creative arts just mention that and you have a free entry.

is the city center of Arles. The heart of the city. A well-known square symbolized by its Obelisk fountains. We can also find the place of the town hall, the church ST. Trophime, the Cloister ST. Trophime and the Church Sainte Anne, which really deserves a visit. It has a beautiful facade and a very interesting interior. It deserves a visit, for sure! There are few little shops all around, prices are very reasonable.

(Translated by Google) It is the main square of Arles, overlooked by the beautiful Romanesque cathedral. Here there are also two of the most important sites in the city: the cloister (next to the church) and the cryptoporticus, which can be visited with a combined ticket. In the center of the square stands an obelisk, from the 4th century (therefore Roman), carved from a Turkish stone and found, broken into two parts, in 1389 in the city. It was placed here during the 1600s. Also overlooking the square is the church of Sant'Anna, also from the 1600s; the post office building and that of the mayor, used in 1200 for city assemblies. (Original) È la piazza principale di Arles, sulla quale si affaccia la bella cattedrale romanica. Qui ci sono anche due dei siti più importanti della città: il chiostro (accanto alla chiesa) e i criptoportici, visitabili con un biglietto cumulativo. Al centro della piazza campeggia un obelisco, del IV secolo (quindi romano), scolpito un una pietra turca e rinvenuto, spezzato in due parti, nel 1389 in città. Fu posto qui nel corso del 1600. Sempre sulla piazza si affacciano la chiesa di Sant'Anna, sempre del 1600; il palazzo delle poste e quello del podestà, utilizzato nel 1200 per le assemblee cittadine.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful square where in the center there is a very interesting Roman obelisk. It's a place to drop by if you visit arla which is located near other landmarks. Relaxing, a place to maybe have a coffee. (Original) Una bella piazza dove al centro si trova un obelisco Romano molto interessante come collocazione. È un posto dove passare se visitate arla che si trova vicino ad altri punti di riferimento. Rilassante, un posto dove magari bersi un caffè.

(Translated by Google) It was a peaceful square with children running around. There were people playing instruments and people walking their dogs. It was nice because it was a place where I could sit and relax for a while. There was a large tower in the middle of the square and a fountain, so it was cool to see. (Original) 아이들이 뛰어다니고 평화로운 광장이었어요. 악기를 연주하시는 분도 있었고 강아지와 산책나온 분들도 있었어요. 잠시 앉아서 쉴 수 있는 곳이어서 좋았습니다. 광장 한가운데 큰 탑이 있고 분수가 있어 보기 시원했습니다.

Absolutely terrible. Am here now and wish I hadn’t bothered. Terrible paella, the worst wine we’ve had in the whole of France, and a cold frites with terrible burger. I don’t trust the seafood in my paella so I won’t be finishing it. Mouldy canopy. Tourist trap. Stay away!

Avoid this place. Trust the reviews posted here. Pasta was overcooked and served cold. My wife specifically asked if the shrimp was peeled. Server clearly stated it was. It was not. It was also overcooked. Wine was so so and was more money than stated on the menu which to be fair we were told when we ordered. What really upset me was that when the bill came they said it was cash only!!! No apologies and this was told told to us when we sat down. The manager is lucky I can't speak the language because I would have liked to tell them what I thought of our experience. I would recommend choosing the other restaurants around the square. By far the worst meal and experience in France this week so far!!!

Actually, I visited a meaningful place and had lunch, but I don't recommend it if you want a delicious meal. However, the location of the restaurant is excellent.

This is THE cafe from the painting! Very cute place and friendly service. Service was a bit slow with some snafus but very friendly. It was very busy so completely understandable. The reviews are not great but I really wanted to eat here. The huge paella pan looked so inviting that we decided to stay. I am so happy we did! The paella was delicious! Some cocktails were better than others but our friends enjoyed their meal of pasta also. If you are on the fence, give it a chance!

Dreadful - we had moules et frites which was quite frankly the worst experience of French cuisine we have ever experienced. The mussels were so over cooked and the frites cold. Added to this, the service and wine was just embarrassing. What a shame because the location is just so beautiful.

What a s***hole. Unfriendly management, dingy environment, bad & cold food. The only highlight was the friendly romanian waiter who‘s first day was probably a desaster 😕 No card payment possible. Why is that ?

The score is the average of two visits on the same day: one for drinks - only one rose wine available, no printed bill at the end (amount quoted verbally). The other one for dinner - once seated at the table we were told two wines of our choice are out of stock and then left alone for long, long time until we said "that's it" and left the venue. Nice (and famous - van Gogh!) place, central location yet horrible service. And the service supervisor cares much more about his hairstyle rather than the customers...

Seems like this place is hit and miss. I was going to avoid this place based on other reviews and the tourist trap vibe, but my wife is a Van Gogh fanatic so she was hooked and there was no persuading her otherwise. I was prepared for a subpar experience but we experienced none of the issues others reported. The waitresses were fine, the blond young woman (seemed like a manager) was exceptional. Our meals were delicious - I had the Arlesien chicken and my wife had the prawn pasta. So I can only say our experience at the Van Gogh Cafe was great!

Very pretty exterior, but good was not good. Pasta was dry, and service was alright. Better to just take pictures of the exterior and leave

There are a few things i want to say about this restaurant. Firstly, the soda cans were almost 2 weeks overdue. There was also some brown smudge on the bottom. When we told the waiter about this he said it was fine to drink until 2 months after and when we made a comment about it at the end of our dinner he told us it was not his fault. Secondly the food was cold when it arrived at our table and the texture of the pasta sauce was… weird. The lights in the hall to the toilet and the toilet itself didn’t work. Half the menu was not available. The cutlery was dirty (hygiene in general was bad). The service was bad. Tourist trap. Do not go here!!! Van Gogh’s name goes to shame. Honestly not even worth 1 star.

Deeply disappointed with the service, quality and condition of the Café. The owner of this shop is just using Van Gogh's fame to make money without showing any respect or homage to Van Gogh. No wonder the rating on Google Maps is only 2.9.

Of course, it’s a tourist trap. And we fell for it because were only in Arles once and I’m a fan of Van Gogh. Though knowing it’s such, we only went for drinks. There are tables designated for people only getting drinks that are separate from the other tables. The greeter was friendly enough but the waiter, not so much. It was pricey pricey pricey, our friend ended up paying over 5€ for a bubbly water. I got a hot chocolate which was alright and wasn’t as much as the water. I would not recommend going here to eat or drink. As a cafe, I’d give it 1 star, but I added an extra one because it still has a resemblance to Van Goghs painting. If you’re a fan of his, I’d recommend going to just to be there and take a few pictures, but avoid eating here.

An 18 room art museum that came as part.of a multi pass tourist pass that we purchased for €15 which gives you access to 4 monuments and 2 museums. We didn't know many of the artists, except for Picasso. Amazing to see some of his original artworks in person. There were some rooms at the end that housed some modern sculptures, art and a sound room that weren't really our vibe. A great mix of art through the ages and we are glad we came.

Just a few Picasso pieces. Real shame they didn’t take advantage of the view at of the Rhone

The painter Jacques Réattu's work is worth discovering and admiring it, but even the museum itself is a beautiful historic building. Don't miss it if you're in Arles and interested in art. Very nice place!

Not my thing but modern art types will like it. They pipe in sounds in various rooms which I suppose is in keeping with the modern art aspect of the place. Still it has a nice courtyard.

I enjoyed this museum. There are many interesting paintings and drawings from the 20th and 21th centuries. I also loved a temporary exhibition of sound art installations place among the pictures. It's a kinda small museum so you don't need to spend the hours to visit it all. What should be improved: the panels are in French and they should at least add English translations. I had to use Google Lens on my phone to understand some descriptions.

I was impressed by Reattu talent and museum art collection. Worth a visit.

Beautiful museum with some nice pieces from Picasso (24.09.22). Great artworks in metal, wood as well as some audio works.

This is a small but very charming museum. The old (if not ancient) building has an interesting layout and the museum often showcases a playful mix of modern and classical art. From some of the rooms you also get a pretty view over the river. Worth the visit!

It’s a great medieval museum space with lots of artworks from different era curated smartly. It also houses some if Picasso’s works.

A bit of a shrine to the family that established the museum, the Réattu with a sprinkling of modern art and some late works of Picasso. The audio guide is essential if you are not a French speaker, but its average among audio guides and some of the clips are quite long. The building is beautiful and there’s a decent shop on site but if your short on time, you can probably skip this site.
