With more than 300 days of sun per year, Arles is a city of the south where life is easy. The special light of the city rhymes with the quality of life here.

Once the warm weather appears in springtime, Arlesians and visitors gather on the terraces of the cafés along the Boulevard des Lices or on the squares in the old city center. The Saturday market is a ritual : in is not only one of the most beautiful markets in Provence, but also one of the largest (two kilometres long). There can be found anything your heart desires : fruits and vegetables, cheeses, flowers and spices, meat and fish, honey, all of the fresh produce and regional products that are such fun to taste, as well as clothing, shoes, fabric, crafts . . .
