View over the rooftops from Place Major

From the Place Major, right next to the church, you have a lovely panoramic view of the city’s rooftops and its surroundings. An orientation table helps you get your bearings in the region, and spot the Alpilles and Mont Ventoux in the distance. A stunning vista that beckons you to further explore the region. Arles may be a city rich in art and history, but it’s also the ideal starting point for nature walks. Provence has it all: rolling vineyards, salty marshes and lakes, green hills, and fields of lavender and olive trees stretching as far as the eye can see. An adventurer’s playground waiting to be explored. And you know what’s the best part? You don’t have to be some hardcore hiker to tackle the highest peak in the Alpilles Regional Nature Park! At only 498 meters, Les Opies is a manageable climb that will reward you with stunning panoramic views stretching from the Alps all the way to the Mediterranean. But first, let’s head for the famous Arles Arenas.
