The route
The driver takes the A55 and A7, then the A54 across the Crau plain to Arles.
Arriving in Arles
Historic centre
Drop-off on Boulevard des Lices or the quays, close to the amphitheatre; the driver waits or comes back at the agreed time.
Camargue
To go on to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer or a Camargue farm, ask for a driver at your disposal.
Arles from the port: Roman Provence in one call
For a shore excursion, give us your all-aboard time: the driver sets the departure time from the site with a margin for traffic and brings you back to the terminal in time.
Arles is best explored on foot: allow two to three hours for the amphitheatre, the Roman theatre, the Saint-Trophime cloister and the Fondation Vincent van Gogh.
A day in Arles from the ship
Arles is explored on foot: the arena, Roman theatre, Saint-Trophime cloister, Alyscamps and Rhône quays are minutes apart. For an eight-hour call, allow two and a half hours of driving there and back and four hours on site, with lunch on Place du Forum by the café Van Gogh painted. The driver drops you on Boulevard des Lices and meets you at the same spot.
Arles and the Camargue
With a driver at your disposal, you can add a drive through the Camargue, among rice fields and lagoons, to see bulls, horses and flamingos; this needs a long call. Combined tickets for the monuments save time, and by the river the Luma Foundation and its Parc des Ateliers, on a former railway site, show contemporary art and architecture ten minutes’ walk from the arena.
