Provence Day Trip from Aix-en-Provence: On the Trail of Van Gogh

Follow the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh, see Roman monuments and visit one of ProvenceŒÍs best open-air markets on this action-packed day trip from Aix-en-Provence! First stop is St Rí©my de Provence, for a market visit and a look at St Paul de Mausole (where Van Gogh stayed after cutting off his ear). Relax in the cliff-top village of Les Baux de Provence, and then discover the UNESCO-listed town of Arles. Learn about Van GoghŒÍs life in town, while seeing Roman ruins like Arles Amphitheatre!

Leave central Aix-en-Provence and travel northwest by air-conditioned minibus through the scenic Provencal countryside to the northern slopes of the Alpilles mountain range. Your destination is the pretty village of St Rí©my de Provence; once a walled Roman town, it is now a thriving market village popular with locals and visitors alike.

Spend time here at leisure, doing whatever you please. Perhaps visit its picturesque open-air market (one of the regionŒÍs fines), or stroll to finding St Rí©myŒÍs best monuments, such as St Paul de Mausole. This gorgeous Romanesque monastery was formerly a psychiatric hospital that treated St Rí©myŒÍs most famous ex-resident — Vincent van Gogh — when he cut off his ear. Entrance fees to any monuments are at your own expense.

Continue your tour by minibus to the medieval cliff-top village of Les Baux de Provence to admire its postcard-perfect views and enjoy lunch at leisure (own expense). If time permits, take a wander around the villageŒÍs lovely cobblestone streets to soak up its historic charm. Possibility to attend the light and sound show in Les CarriíÂres de LumiíÂres (entrance fee not included, closed in February).

Meet your guide at the pre-arranged time, and travel to Arles — an ancient city thatŒÍs made its way onto the UNESCO World Heritage list in recognition of its beautifully preserved Roman monuments. Like St Rí©my, Arles was once home to Vincent van Gogh. As you will learn about Van GoghŒÍs life in the city, watch out for the places that inspired the artistŒÍs works, like Cafí© Van Gogh in Forum Square. The distinctive yellow-fronted cafí© is said to be the building in Van GoghŒÍs acclaimed The Cafí© Terrace painting. If you travel on a Saturday, you will also be able to enjoy the open-air market in Arles.

Marvel at ArlesŒÍ Roman monuments, too, including the ruins of Arles Amphitheater and the cityŒÍs Roman Theater. Pass St-Trophime church, admiring its carved 12th-century doorway, and then return to your minibus for the journey back to Aix-en-Provence. Your tour finishes at the start point in the later afternoon.

The order of the visit might change depending on market day.
