Imagine yourself walking along the Alyscamps, the major avenue in Arles like many Romans have since the 1st Century BC,
or charmed simply by the luminosity of the blue sky on a crisp day as Van Gogh was. Arles strive in keeping its own identity
away from the influence of her big sister Marseille. Pride and glory, Arles has a heart of a knight who goes through time,
and continues to charm its’ visitors.


During our trip to Arles, we found these beautiful pieces -
Arles Sundial French Limestone gb-1006; Marco Aurelio 20th Century Terra Cotta gs-8000

We are often asked where to stay while in Provence, we are delighted to share our absolute favorite hotel with you. This
typical Provencal hotel is approx. 11 miles away from Arles. The Oustau de Baumanière, 4 star Relais & Châteaux with a
spa and a 2 Michelin star restaurant. For over sixty years, personalities from all walks of life have been drawn to the
indescribable luxury offered by l’ Oustau de Baumanière: a legend in its own right, unlike anywhere else, in a world of its own,
among extraordinary natural beauty of Les Baux de Provence.

Spa Baumanière - a very natural spa with an intimate atmosphere. Five hundred square meters bathed in light and tranquility.
A haven of privacy that opens onto a tree-shaded patio and a fragrant garden, mingling light and shadow. Airy, light drapes
contrasting with the dark wood of the walls and floor. Each space, each treatment, each massage offers a completely
personalized experience. A different kind of voyage begins here, in the heart of Provence, one that is afirst.
