Arles is one of the oldest cities in France. It is first mentioned as Theline, one of the native towns trading with the Greek town Massilia (modern Marseilles). It was conquered by Romans and turned into "little Rome".
It was the capital of the three Gauls – France, Spain and Britain – Arles remains one of the most distinctive towns in Provence with fine relics from its Gallo-Roman past.
It is a very ancient place but it is very modern on the other hand. The town with very positive vibrant energy.
Cultural spot. The Rhona River diamond. Van Gogh's inspiration spot.
