Everything you should know before you book
Provence is open-air ancient Rome: the Pont du Gard aqueduct still spans the Gardon, Arles keeps its Roman amphitheatre, and Glanum's ruins sit just outside Saint-Rémy. Tours stitch these together with Les Baux-de-Provence, the cliff-top village whose old quarry now hosts the immersive Carrières des Lumières light shows.
This is also Van Gogh country. He painted some 300 works around Saint-Rémy and Arles in the year he spent here, and dedicated Van Gogh tours follow the easels and asylum that shaped his late style. Most circuits combine the Roman sites, the villages, and the art in a single full day.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Carrières des Lumières at Les Baux?
It's an immersive digital art show projected across the walls of a former limestone quarry beneath Les Baux-de-Provence — one of the most popular stops on the Roman Provence circuits.
Can I follow Van Gogh's footsteps from Avignon?
Yes — dedicated Van Gogh tours visit Saint-Rémy and Arles, where he painted some of his most famous works, including the asylum at Saint-Paul de Mausole.
How far is the Pont du Gard from Avignon?
About 30 minutes by road. It's an easy half-day on its own and is bundled into most Roman Provence full-day trips.
