Location: Arles in France
Built in the hills around Arles, a few metres from Arènes and the Roman Théâtre Antique, in the very quiet Hauture district. You will be in the middle of a 2000 year old town which you can explore on foot! This area has a slow pace of life, like in a village. The traffic is regulated. You will find several restaurants and shops, as well as a beautiful public garden (shaded, quiet, children's play area). Arles is the former Roman capital and boasts and abundance of archaeological treasures. It also has lots of modern culture such as a photography festival, bullfighting and music. Arles is an excellent base from which to discover Provence, the pre-Alps, Avignon or Nimes. The fun of the seaside is not far away: within half an hour you can drive through Camargue to the beaches in Saintes Maries de la Mer or Salin de Giraud, where you may see flamingos.
