Pocket travel guide - A Great Weekend: Arles & the Camargue | Hatchet

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

A guide adapted to weekend weather, for a discovery of Arles and the Camargue, with an excursion to the gates of the nearby Alpilles.

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 on the places that inspired Van Gogh, a dive into the lively district of La Roquette… Everything that makes the atmosphere of this city with many faces.
- At the gates of the Alpilles, the Benedictine abbey of Montmajour and the mill of Alphonse Daudet, for an overview of the hinterland.
- A discovery of the delta landscapes and the traditions of the Camargue and the Petite Camargue: the ornithological reserves and their colonies of pink flamingos, the breeding of bulls and horses, the salt marshes with incredible colors, without forgetting the wild beaches.
- And of course our favorite addresses, our unique experiences and a large choice of nature activities to live a very BIG Weekend:

• trails to follow on foot or by bike.
• equestrian centers to explore the Camargue on horseback, whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider.
• the most beautiful herds to stay.
• our selection of restaurants, craft or gourmet shops (olive oil, wine from the sands, Arles sausage, etc.).

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