From Saint-Charles to Arles and the Camargue
The regional train stops at Arles station, north of the centre; for the Camargue there is almost no public transport. A private driver drops you straight at your farmhouse or hotel, even late at night.
For a group or a family with suitcases, the 8-seat Van saves juggling several taxis on arrival.
The Rhône, the arena and the Camargue
At Arles the Rhône splits into two branches that enclose the Camargue. The quays where Van Gogh painted “Starry Night over the Rhône” are a few steps from the arena and the Roman theatre. The Alyscamps, an ancient Roman necropolis lined with sarcophagi, lie to the south-east of the town.
The Easter and September ferias draw crowds: hotels in the centre are full and traffic is restricted. Book your transfer early and give the exact address; the driver knows which access roads are open on those days.
Arles for the day from Marseille
For a traveller arriving by TGV in the morning, a day in Arles is easy: leave Saint-Charles around 9 am, visit the monuments, lunch on Place du Forum and return in the late afternoon. A driver hired by the hour waits for you between sites.
