Step through the medieval walls of Aigues-Mortes, and the Camargue’s wide horizons begin just beyond. Founded by Louis IX in the 13th century, this compact town retains an exceptional circuit of ramparts. Walk the walls for views over tiled roofs, canals and salt pans, often tinted rose by algae. Then linger in the central square or visit the Tour de Constance, a formidable keep with centuries of history.
Arles stands on the Rhône in Provence, where Roman monuments and a working southern French city share the same streets. The UNESCO-listed Roman theatre and amphitheatre remain central landmarks, built when ancient Arelate prospered. Vincent van Gogh painted here from 1888 to 1889, drawn by the region’s clear light. Visit the Fondation Vincent van Gogh, then explore the old town’s Provençal markets and café terraces.
Tarascon stands on the Rhône between Avignon and Arles, with Provence’s sunlit plains beyond its old stone streets. Its landmark, the Château de Tarascon, is a formidable 15th-century fortress overlooking the river. Explore the church of Sainte-Marthe and the compact historic centre, then cross the bridge to Beaucaire. This is a rewarding stop for travellers drawn to medieval architecture and the enduring character of Provence.
Avignon rewards a slow first look: medieval ramparts frame a city shaped by popes, merchants and the Rhône. Inside the walls, the immense Palais des Papes recalls the 14th-century era when the papacy moved here. Nearby, the broken span of Pont Saint-Bénézet reaches into the river, made famous by the French song. Leave time for shaded squares, Provençal markets and a glass of local wine before the Rhône carries you onward.
