In France, many cruises on the Rhône and Saône rivers begin in the town of Arles, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône département of the Provence-Alpes-Côtes d'Azur region. Arles boasts an exceptional setting on the banks of the Rhône. It is surrounded by important natural areas, including the Camargue regional nature park to the south, the Trébon plain and Alpilles mountains to the north, and the Crau plain to the east. The town center is a true haven of authenticity, with its compact medieval architecture, maze of winding streets and immense arena. Located on the left bank of the Rhône, its river port has been in operation since antiquity. It's a major trading point between river and sea, frequented by river boats and river-sea vessels sailing the Mediterranean Sea.

Cruise from Arles and explore this French city rich in art and history. Step back in time to Roman times with a visit to the 1st-century ancient theater, the Constantine baths, the Roman amphitheater where bullfights and Camargue races are held, and the cryptoporticos preserved on the Place de la République. Take a detour to the site of the Alyscamps or ancient Champs-Élysées, a necropolis dating back to Gallo-Roman times. This necropolis was famous in its day for the relics of Saint Trophime and the tomb of Saint Genès. Push open the door of the Musée départemental d'Arles antique, located on the Cirque-Romain peninsula, and learn more about Arles' past. For architecture buffs, take the time to discover the Cathédrale Saint-Trophime, built in the Romanesque style in the 12th century. The interior of this church is adorned with tapestries, sculptures and paintings. Its cloister deserves special attention to appreciate its sophisticated architecture with capitals, corner pillars and galleries evoking the life of Christ, Saint Trophime and Provencal themes. For culture buffs, mark your cruise stopover with a visit to the Van Gogh Foundation in rue du Dr. Fanton, where the painter lived and painted many of his famous works.
