Arles and its activities The house will allow you to discover and visit this Roman city steeped in history, evolving between tradition and modernity. Arles hosts numerous festivities throughout the year, the famous Feria in April and September, the Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie during the summer... not to mention the traditional Provençal events that punctuate the lives of the people of Arles. You will also have the opportunity to discover the Luma Tower designed by Frank Gehry.
Arles is ideally located less than an hour from exceptional towns and villages (Les Baux-de-Provence, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Fontvieille, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Avignon, Montpellier, Nîmes, etc.).
The Camargue It is prized for its climate, its tranquility, its unspoiled beaches, and the richness of its culture, fauna, and flora. From the village of Salin-de-Giraud, just a few kilometers away, you have access to numerous activities: unique horseback riding, kitesurfing, 4x4 safaris, canoeing, kayaking, electric mountain biking, fishing, excursions with a naturalist guide, visits to the salt marshes, etc. And for those less inclined to sports, you can simply enjoy the sun and relaxation on the beaches of Beauduc and Piémanson. The village is also renowned for its history and its way of life. Salt and organic rice are produced there, and Camargue bulls and horses are raised. Life here is punctuated by bullfighting events in the arenas and village festivals, perfect for spending quality time with family, loved ones, and friends.
On arrival, you'll be welcomed by Marie, a true Arles native who knows all the best-kept secrets.

Woaaww…Un véritable coin de paradis, niché sur terre !Si vous rêvez de vous réveiller au doux chant des oiseaux et de flâner au cœur d’une nature intacte, cet endroit est fait pour vous. Le jardin, foisonnant de fleurs éclatantes, accueille chaque matin la visite de chardonnerets, cormorans, canards, hérons cendrés, et parfois même d’un majestueux aigle que l’on peut observer depuis la terrasse. L’étang, quant à lui, est peuplé de poissons et de canards, et il n’est pas rare d’y croiser un ragondin lors de sa promenade matinale. Ici, le calme est absolu : seuls le souffle du vent dans les palmiers et les bonds des mulets dans l’eau viennent troubler la quiétude ambiante.La maison, quant à elle, est tout simplement splendide : elle dégage une atmosphère chaleureuse et authentique, et ses espaces de vie surpassent de loin ce que laissent présager les photos. Un véritable havre de paix, idéal pour se ressourcer et profiter d’un moment de bien-être incomparable.
