Arles is a fascinating cosmopolitan city on the Rhône River with a rich history to uncover, an incredible art scene to explore, and an indulgent culinary landscape you’ll want to spend some time enjoying. Known as somewhere that inspired the great Vincent van Gogh, and for once being a provincial capital of ancient Rome, this picturesque city in the south of France is overflowing with incredible experiences. For an insight into Van Gogh’s works, the stylish Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles is the art museum for you. However, you’ll also find more incredible art in Musée Réattu – which is notably home to drawings from Picasso, alongside paintings by locally-born artist Jacques Réattu. Arles’ incredible sights aren’t just found on canvas, though; the historic heart of this city is littered with impressive ancient Roman landmarks, most notably the Arles Amphitheatre. So, history buffs will be quite content with everything Arles has to offer visitors. A sizable city with a thriving contemporary art scene, you’ll also find countless cafes and restaurants to enjoy – whether you’re looking for traditional French cuisine or something a little more exotic. And, of course, with Arles on the Rhône, spending some time soaking up the incredible scenery on a relaxing riverside stroll is never a bad idea. A stunning city with an abundance of history and culture to immerse yourself in, visiting Arles during a river cruise is always a rewarding experience.
Things to do in Arles - Overnight onboard:
Arènes d'Arles
An impressive two-tiered ancient Roman gladiatorial amphitheatre in the heart of Arles, Arènes d'Arles is one landmark you won’t want to miss out on seeing when you arrive. Founded in 90 AD, this amphitheatre would have once hosted chariot races and gladiator fights to a crowd of over 20,000 people; now, it hosts a variety of events throughout the summer months. Interestingly expanded upon throughout the Middle Ages, this ancient Roman landmark is a testament to how important Arles was during ancient Rome.
Les Alyscamps and the Church of Saint-Honorat
First constructed in the 11th century, the Church of Saint-Honorat is an impressive medieval landmark in its own right. However, the fact that it was built in the heart of Les Alyscamps – an ancient Roman necropolis – is something that makes this site even more interesting. An area immortalised in works by Van Gogh and Gaugin, Les Alyscamps is somewhere steeped in history and cultural significance. The church itself marks the start of Chemin d’Arles, one of France’s most important routes to Santiago de Compostela for religious pilgrimages, and the rows of weathered sarcophagi tell an interesting story of those who once roamed the region.
Musée de l'Arles antique
An archaeological museum that invites you to explore the incredible ancient artefacts uncovered in and around Arles, Musée de l'Arles antique offers visitors a fascinating insight into the region’s past with everything from statues and shipwrecks to vases, coins, and more to admire. Housed in a stylish modern building, it’s easy to spend hours enjoying everything this museum has to offer.
Avignon
DAY 3
27 Jul 2026
Time at Port: TBD
Avignon is a remarkable river cruise destination on the Rhône, with picturesque views and incredible architecture to admire alongside a vibrant culture to explore and an intriguing history to uncover. Known as the Pope’s City, for the time it spent as the papal capital between 1309 and 1377, this enchanting city is home to a real abundance of impressive medieval architecture – with Palais des Papes, Pont d’Avignon, and the surrounding Remparts d’Avignon among the highlights. You’ll also find the city centre is littered with museums and art galleries; whether you’re interested in local history, contemporary art, or ancient artefacts, history buffs will be spoilt for choice when it comes to how they spend their time here. And then there’s the culinary scene; from bustling markets filled with local produce and regional wine tasting experiences to Michelin-starred restaurants and more, Avignon caters to all kinds of culinary explorers and you’re certain to find something delicious here. Beyond Avignon, though, and across the Rhône River, you’ll find Villeneuve-lès-Avignon; this charming medieval village is home to even more incredible cultural experiences and landmarks, with the imposing Fort Saint-André overlooking the village and the surrounding landscape. If you’re looking for fantastic views of Avignon, or somewhere a little less busy than the vibrant city centre, then a short trip across the Rhône is worth considering. However you spend your time in Avignon, though, it promises to be a rewarding river cruise experience.
Things to do in Avignon:
Musée Calvet
In the heart of Avignon, Musée Calvet is an impressive museum home to an incredible number of fine artworks from throughout the Renaissance and into the Modern period alongside interesting items of ancient Egyptian origin, 16th-century furniture, 19th-century sculptures, and so much more. If you’re looking for an interesting collection of items which explore a wide array of cultures and periods, Musée Calvet is where you’ll want to spend some time.
Palais des Papes
An immense fortress and palace complex that served as the seat of Western Christianity for much of the 14th century, the Palais des Papes is among the largest and most significant medieval Gothic-style structures in Europe – both for its architecture and its historic importance. During Avignon’s time as the papal capital, six papal conclaves were held here; interestingly, though, what we see today is actually two neighbouring buildings joined together – with the older palace of Benedict XII incorporating the more extravagant palace of Clement VI. A remarkable sight to behold, this is one landmark you won’t want to miss – and one you would have a hard time doing so.
Monument du Comtat
Sculpted by Felix Charpentier in 1891, the Monument du Comtat is an impressive statue symbolising France herself, with Marianne offering one hand to the city while the other clutches at the flag. Interestingly, at the base of the statue, there’s a roaring lion with a sword under paw, presumably serving as a guardian for Marianne and the French Republic. A testament to the people’s devotion to their country, this is just one of several fascinating statues and monuments found in Avignon.
Palais du Roure
A stunning 15th century hôtel particulier (which is the French term for a grand urban mansion), Palais du Roure is a fascinating landmark in the heart of Avignon. Maintained as a museum, there’s interesting things to look at inside and out, with popular contemporary art and regional traditions explored within. If you’re touring Avignon, this is one destination that should be on the agenda.
Viviers
DAY 4
28 Jul 2026
Time at Port: TBD
An intriguing medieval city on the Rhône River, Viviers is a fantastic river cruise destination with a lot to uncover – and enough historical sites to explore that you could almost describe the whole town as an open-air museum! Whether you want to spend some time exploring this charming riverside town under your own guidance, or on a walking tour with a local guide feeding you all the facts, Viviers is a feast for the eyes; while the impressive cathedral dominates views of the town from afar, the sloping cobblestone streets in the lower parts of the town are overflowing with interesting medieval structures and noteworthy sites worth seeing. When climbing up to see the cathedral up-close, you’ll also have the chance to enjoy staggering views of the Rhône Valley – and the scenic spot where the Canal de Dérivation de Montélimar branches off of the Rhône, which is well worth taking the time to admire. You’ll also find Viviers a fantastic starting-point for walking and hiking, if you’re hoping to stretch your legs and explore the great outdoors when you arrive; there are plenty of options here, with hikes up to nearby vantage points and leisurely riverside strolls equally available. Foodies will also have the chance to indulge in authentic local cuisines here, but may find their options limited due to the small size of Viviers itself. If you’re looking for a more expansive culinary experience, you might want to consider venturing further afield to Montélimar – a vibrant, larger town just across the Rhône. This nearby destination boasts its own selection of interesting historical landmarks, unique sightseeing opportunities, and immersive cultural experiences to enjoy, too! So, as a river cruise destination, Viviers really does have a lot to offer every type of traveller. Viviers itself is a fantastic place to spend some time if you’re looking for an in-depth exploration of the region’s history and the chance to admire the natural beauty of the Rhône Valley; however, a short trip to Montélimar is an excellent option for those after a more lively locale, with an expanded selection of restaurants and bars to spend some time in, and plenty of boutique shopping experiences to explore.
Things to do in Viviers:
St. Vincent’s Cathedral, Viviers
Despite being known as the smallest active cathedral in France, and one of the oldest, St. Vincent’s Cathedral is one of the most impressive landmarks in Viviers and a sight well-worth seeing when visiting.

Home to Statue de la Joanade, a statue of the Virgin Mary donated to the town by the Pavin de Lafarge family in 1861, the 2.5 km hiking route featuring La Joannade also passes through Place de la République, an impressive part of Viviers with even more sights to see.
Maison Mompar
Originally constructed throughout the 12th century, Maison Mompar (which is also known as Hôtel de Lestrade) was the former town hall of Viviers from 1767 to 1947. An impressive historical site comprising of two tower houses, this location offers visitors a unique insight into the architectural styles typical of the 12th century alongside those of the 18th century, when this structure was refurbished.
