Museum of ancient Arles and Provence

Mentioned on 
26 lists 
Archaeological museum
Museums
The Museum of Ancient Arles and Provence is a captivating modern museum that showcases the rich history of this remarkable city, which dates back to its Roman origins. Nestled in a strategic location that once linked Spain to Italy, it was established by Julius Caesar in 46 BC. The museum features an impressive collection of Roman sarcophagi, sculptures, and mosaics from the Augustinian era through the 6th century.
We visited this museum while staying Arles. It was part of the Arles Advantage Pass. We loved the exhibit on the Arles Rhône 3. Such a spectacular discovery and exhibition space with a film with English subtitles. We did use Google translate for reading other information as not much was printed in English. There are lockers for larger bags at the entrance using 1 euro as a deposit for the key. If walking, just be careful NOT to get in the nasty bike/walking tunnel that goes to the other side of the Rhône.
Linda B — Google review
Very interesting place. I went there because of the combined ticket (pass), and left impressed by the incredible collection gathered in this museum! Must visit to understand the great past of this area.
ElaDevilara — Google review
Prob the highlight of my 4 hours in Arles. This museum is small enough to not get bored. And it has a good amount of well preserved cool artifacts like the barge or the different busts.
V H — Google review
One of the best ancient museums in the south of France. The place is rich at unique historical exhibits including a huge original boat which was found on the bottom of the lake nearby. I do recommend buying a city pass as it provides a very good discount for this museum and several monuments as well as other museums.
Kirill M — Google review
Many amazing objects displayed, sadly only 10% with English text explained, the rest French. We took the English audio guide, which was a disaster. An old woman with a shaky British accent, talking very old fashioned...it was painful to hear. Her text was also so unexciting. There are only 19 tracks, but like +1000 objects are displayed in the museum. Better not to use it at all and just look around. The boat is the masterpiece of the museum, for that 4 stars

Beautiful museum to visit. It shows the Roman history of Arles and its position as port in ancient times. It's cheap too if you use the combi ticket to visit other monuments in Arles. Most text is in French only, but there are some important texts that are also in English and there is an English folder to give context to the rooms and objects.
Dewi — Google review
An interesting museum going into the background of the Romans. Probably one to two hours of wandering. Some amazing mosaics from floors of villas along with a wooden boat that was actually pulled up from the bottom of the Rhône. A bit tuned towards French but enough English for us to understand. Nice stop.
Steve H — Google review
Easily the best museum on the city pass. The museum is a little far from the city center, but definitely worth the journey. The display of ancient artifacts from the region is impressive and the museum itself is a modern and really well lit building. The information about the boat that was found in the sediment of the Rhone river is very interesting, just learning about how they unearthed it via scuba diving is really cool.

L'espace Van Gogh

Art Museums
L'espace Van Gogh is a serene and colorful space that was once an asylum where the artist Vincent Van Gogh was held. The courtyard garden casts a beautiful array of colors on the white and yellow trimmed walls, creating a tranquil atmosphere. This 19th-century hospital has been repurposed as an exhibition space, featuring a career-spanning survey of photographer Mary Ellen Mark's work.
A must visit if you are a Van Gogh fan🎨 Free to look around and there are a few cute gift shops inside also . I noticed a handful of solo travelers sitting and eating their lunch there. It looked like a good idea in case you’re thinking of it…..
Sara D — Google review
Standing in the quiet winter garden where Van Gogh once poured out his passion… Unlike the vivid petals bursting with color in Van Gogh’s paintings, the garden at Espace Van Gogh in January was hushed — life seeming to hold its breath in the cold. But still, there was something powerful about being here. I was standing in the very place where his artistic fire once burned so brightly. Arles in winter felt peaceful, humble, yet filled with an invisible spark — a city where everyday simplicity and artistic spirit quietly coexisted. And oh, the weather! After shivering my way through icy Avignon, Arles welcomed me with the kind of soft, sunny warmth that felt like a blessing. 💛
Yesran — Google review
In the heart of Arles lies Hôtel-Dieu, once a sanctuary for Van Gogh, now a garden of memory and light. The cloisters hum softly with the ghosts of brushstrokes; the flowers bloom as if still posing for him. There is no grandeur here, only grace. A tender silence clings to the air, inviting you not to look, but to feel. One leaves not dazzled, but gently moved. A place where art once healed….and perhaps still does.
The Y — Google review
We always pass by the Espace Van Gogh whenever we are in Arles. The space is preserved nicely. When it's not really crowded and the weather fits the scenery, you get that feeling of being right were the artist was 130 years ago. There are always temporary exhibitions in the rooms around the garden, usually from school students under the guidance of local artists and school teachers and they are always quite interesting. Kids love seeing art created by other children and students. The souvenir shops are also a nice opportunity to buy some van Gogh items and they have a huge variety for all ages.

Amiga T — Google review
We went there as Van Gogh spent some time there after he cut off his ear. He painted some scenes whilst there. I thought it was a beautiful space with a garden which remains very much the way he painted it. There’s an extensive souvenir shop there. Entry to the space is complimentary.
Blossom C — Google review
Makes you go back on time to see what Van Gogh did and feel.
Alan T — Google review
Quite disappointed in this space as it just seemed to house tourist shops and a restaurant. There was no public area to sit and enjoy the view of the tiny garden. Other reviews showed the pond in the centre of the garden with water in it, but today it was empty. The planting of flowers was pretty, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit... we were simply in the area. Trading off the name Van Gogh and this one just missed the mark for us.

Saint-Trophime Primatial Catholic Church

Mentioned on 
+33 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Saint-Trophime Primatial Catholic Church is a massive Romanesque-style church adorned with sculptures on its facade and an array of art inside. It stands next to the beautiful house owned by Vera Michalski, a renowned publisher. The church's carved portal has attracted curious visitors for centuries, along with the city's Roman monuments. The cloister behind the church offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling square outside and features intricately sculpted figures.
Both stunning and somewhat austere in the typical style of such churches. Not my favorite cathedral in France, but it's up there. It's very poorly lit, but that adds to the charm somewhat. There are a number of impressive tapestries and stained glass pieces scattered amongst the stark, arching stonework. The palm fronds (this is April) were a nice contrast too
David S — Google review
Although it is not artistically decorated like many churches in Europe, considering its construction year, it feels even more majestic.
Oguzhan K — Google review
This huge old church has been built with the most beautiful architectural design and detailed sculptures. It's been maintained and preserved amazingly! So much history. A true gem of Arles. No tickets needed. It's in the very heart of the city's Old Town square, Place de la Republique.

Nice cathedral, very high, very stately. Beautiful mason work near the entrance. Nice for a quick visit.

In a small town with so many epic buildings , this holds its own. Entry is from the beautiful squarer of a place de La Republic. next to the Hotel De Ville and the cloisters. Get the ticket that allows you access to all the showstoppers. Well worth it.
Col M — Google review
Don't come Sunday morning and expect to tour church or take pictures inside. Outside sculptures are fantastic. Beautiful square too.
Dean M — Google review
The Saint-Trophime Primatial Catholic Church is a stunning architectural gem, with construction dating back to the 12th century. While some of the tapestries may appear faded, this only adds to the church's charm and historical allure. A notable feature is the vast collection of relics of saints, securely locked away behind metal bars in a church alcove, offering a glimpse into the religious significance of the site. Like many churches in France, Saint-Trophime is adorned with numerous statues and paintings depicting standard components of Christianity, contributing to its beauty and spiritual atmosphere. Overall, a very beautiful and enriching visit for those interested in history and religious art.

Roman Theatre of Arles

Mentioned on 
35 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Roman Theatre of Arles, also known as the Arles Amphitheater, is a remarkable ancient structure that was built in the 1st century. With a seating capacity for up to 20,000 spectators, it hosted various events such as bullfighting, concerts, and plays. Along with other historic monuments in Arles like the cathedral and necropolis, this amphitheater showcases the town's transition from Roman to medieval civilization.
The Roman Theatre of Arles: An Ancient Stage Full of Stories Tucked away in the heart of Arles, the Roman Theatre is one of the city’s oldest and most atmospheric monuments. Built in the late 1st century BC, during the reign of Emperor Augustus, it once stood as a proud symbol of Roman culture and entertainment. This theater could originally seat around 10,000 spectators, who gathered here to watch comedies, dramas, and musical performances under the open Provençal sky. Though time and history have worn it down — many of its stones were reused in medieval constructions — what remains still captures the imagination. A few rows of seating, parts of the stage wall, and two towering columns known as the “Columns of Venus” give visitors a glimpse into the grandeur that once was. Standing there, it’s easy to imagine the cheers, laughter, and drama that once filled the air. Fun facts: • In the Middle Ages, the theater was completely buried and forgotten — it wasn’t rediscovered until the 17th century when locals stumbled upon ancient statues while digging! • One of the most famous finds was the stunning Venus of Arles, a beautiful Roman statue that is now housed in the Louvre in Paris. • Today, the theater still hosts concerts and events, meaning it’s been entertaining audiences for over 2,000 years — talk about a long-running show! The Roman Theatre of Arles isn’t just an ancient ruin; it’s a beautiful reminder of how deeply Roman culture shaped the city. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a lover of architecture, or simply curious about Arles’ magical atmosphere, this theater is absolutely worth a visit.
Keusen K — Google review
If you're interested in Roman architecture, this is a must-visit. I loved that you can walk through every part of the theatre and really feel the history beneath your feet. The stones still carry traces of Roman craftsmanship — it's like stepping back in time. An unforgettable experience for history lovers.
Deniz A — Google review
This is very interesting if you're in Arles, we visited around Mid- June and it was not that busy but definitely active amongst the town. The town itself had a lovely feel to it and it has a lot of history behind it which is so so interesting to delve into. It is definitely worth a stop if you ever find yourself in Arles as there is a walking route with so much information and history behind it. The town itself carries so much meaning behind each monument.
Maya — Google review
I discovered this place accidentally when I was walking through the park to its south (getting some euros from the post office ATM). Wow so amazing! Hard to believe something like this survives into the 21st Century in such good condition. Love how the Europeans maintain and utilise these sites, incorporating them into Modern Life. The Romans' achievements are mind boggling. This is a very cool place I would love to see a performance here. Unfortunately I have to leave today. It made me think of the Shelley poem Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Dominic C — Google review
Great place for a gig or just in general if you're into Roman architecture. Seats do not have cushions or back rest so bring some padding if you intend to be seated for any time.
Andy T — Google review
If you’re going to the theatre in Arles then I imagine you’re going to go to the amphitheatre as well. So: if you don’t know already, for €11 you can buy a ticket which gets you into both. Good value. As for the theatre, It’s good but not great. It’s quite small and you’re pretty much free to wander where you like. Beyond that there’s not much to add. It’s pretty much what you would expect. But worth seeing. Practical note: we rocked up in Arles assuming that there would be big signs everywhere saying “Roman Stuff This Way!”, but it’s really not like that at all. It takes a little finding.
J — Google review
Fairly boring theatre compared to the arena next door. Buy a combi ticket to get this one off your bucket list, but don't make a detour just for this one.
Dolf H — Google review
It’s pretty small not that worth visiting if you don’t spend too much time in Arles. It’s a shame that there’s not much introduction for this place. If you stay the whole day in Arles, you can still visit it with the ticket (€11 for arena+theater) or you won’t have many things to visit. Arles is a small calm village.

Arles Amphitheatre

Mentioned on 
+25 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Arles Arena, a two-tiered Roman amphitheatre located in the southern French town of Arles, is a significant historical site that has stood the test of time. It is part of a collection of eight Roman and medieval monuments that contribute to the city's rich history. This well-preserved colosseum, dating back to around AD 90, once hosted gladiatorial contests and other events for crowds of up to 21,000 spectators.
This is in the heart of Arles and it is 100% worth a stop because it is simply so stunning and absolutely huge inside. Whilst we were visiting there was a performance with gladiators and that was entertaining. The views at the top are stunning and so pretty as you can see across the town. It was a very clear day so we got plenty of photos!
Maya — Google review
Impressive Roman Amphitheater built around 90 CE when the Flavian dynasty ruled in Rome and Domitian was emperor. Not surprisingly the arena was modelled after the Flavian Amphitheater aka Colloseum in Rome. It could hold 20.000 spectators who would watch brutal gladiator games and fights with wild animals. When the western Roman empire had collapsed in the 5th century CE it became a fortess with four towers of which two survived. In medieval times there were even 200 houses, squares and chapels built inside making it a town within a town Like with other arenas large steel structures are built inside with seating for spectators taking away most of the original atmosphere.

Beautiful, beautiful history. The architectural details are absolutely stunning—I can’t believe this has stood for so many years! It truly takes your breath away. It looks just like the Colosseum in Rome. Timeless, majestic, and unforgettable.
Selma B — Google review
I was fortunate to attend Arles Rice Festival in mid- September and celebrated the Camargue rice harvest. I saw the traditional Provençal bullfight, course camarguaise in the Arles Amphitheatre. It's not Spanish Bullfight so no bulls were killed. The Arles Amphitheatre was fascinating and there are many events in the summer time so you can experience the Arles Amphitheatre.
Rie F — Google review
We were in Arles for a photography festival. The festival was pretty diverse in themes, thus might interest a large number of people. The added bonus is that we were able to see spots as festival locations we would miss if we were to stick to main tourist attractions. Arles is a very old Roman city worth visiting.
Farkad E — Google review
Stayed at the local campsite. Very cheap to get into the city. The day we went all the museums were free. The amphitheatre and collusseum were worth the price alone. Beautiful and so easy to access.
Andy P — Google review
Incredible to think this structure has stood for over 2,000 years definitely worth seeing from the outside. Going inside, however, is a bit underwhelming. There isn’t much to look at, and the lack of information or context means your visit will likely be very quick!

Spectacularly intact Roman arena. Well worth visiting and the combination ticket to visit some of the other historical sites was a good value option. Not much in the way of interpretation panels, just a few on the way in, then enjoy the arena

Triumphal arch

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Triumphal Arch in Orange is a well-preserved ancient Roman arch dedicated to Emperor Tiberius. It features intricate stone reliefs and stands as a testament to the city's rich history. Visitors can also explore the nearby Roman Theater and informative museum, making it a worthwhile stop for history enthusiasts. The arch's three-arched design and detailed carvings showcase its architectural significance, dating back to the reign of Augustus.
This is one of the must visit places in Paris. Compared to the Eifelltower the view from here is MUCH better. You get a view over many places that you dont get to see from the Eifelltower and the prices to get in are not bad at all, people under 25 from the EU get in for free :)
Leo S — Google review
The Arc de Triomphe of Orange is one of the best-preserved Roman triumphal arches in Europe, built during the reign of Emperor Augustus (27 BC – AD 14) and later dedicated to Emperor Tiberius. Located at the northern entrance to Orange in Provence, the arch was erected to honor veterans of the Gallic Wars and the Second Legion who founded the Roman colony of Arausio (modern Orange). Highlights Construction: Made entirely of local white limestone, standing about 19 m high and 8 m wide, with three arched passages — one central and two smaller side arches. Decoration: Richly carved reliefs depict Roman legions, naval trophies, captured arms, and defeated enemies, celebrating Rome’s military dominance and peace under Augustus. Symbolism: Unlike later triumphal arches in Paris or Rome, it served both as a city gate and a monumental statement of Roman power in the provinces. Preservation: Despite centuries of weathering, it retains much of its original sculptural detail and remains a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Roman Theatre and its surroundings and the Triumphal Arch of Orange (inscribed 1981).

The car park off the island was a very tight manoeuvre for a 6m length van. It was full. So get there early, if going elsewhere from the arch.... I managed to get good photos just going around the round about, as we where unable to park. There is another car park with a 2.5m height barrier.

The Théâtre antique d'Orange is a remarkable Roman theater located in Orange, France. This UNESCO-protected site is one of the most impressive Roman attractions in the country and one of only three intact Roman theaters worldwide. With its colossal size designed to accommodate 10,000 spectators, it boasts a well-preserved stage wall that stands at 37m high, 103m wide, and 1.8m thick.
The theatre is just amazing! 2,000 years old and still standing and serving it's original purpose. Given its age it's in a truly remarkable state of preservation. If you are in the area this is a must see. The self-guided tour is excellent as is the Virtual Reality experience . The cafes, restaurants and shops in Orange are very typically French and a lovely place to while away a few hours.

The Théâtre antique d’Orange is one of the best-preserved Roman theatres in the world, built during the reign of Emperor Augustus in the 1st century AD. Located in the town of Orange, Provence, it once seated around 9,000 spectators and served as a center of Roman cultural life. Open year-round with a museum and panoramic views from the upper terraces. Best visited in the morning light for photography or during an evening performance for an unforgettable acoustic experience. *Hidden Details* The Emperor’s Presence: The central niche behind the stage once held a 12-meter statue of Emperor Augustus — not a replica, but a visual reminder that Roman theatre was as much about imperial propaganda as art. A smaller original head fragment is displayed in the site museum. “Echo Wall” Engineering: The stage wall’s limestone blocks were fitted without mortar, creating a natural resonance chamber. Actors didn’t need to shout — the curved design amplified voices perfectly, even to the top seats. Secret Backstage World: Beneath and behind the stage lay corridors, pulley shafts, and trapdoors for stage effects — early Roman “stage machinery.” You can still trace parts of these backstage systems during guided tours. Medieval Reuse: After Rome’s fall, the theatre became a fortress, then a refuge for townspeople during wars. Some homes were literally built into the stands until Napoleon ordered restoration in the 1800s. Ancient Graffiti: On the upper tiers, faint Latin inscriptions and marks made by stonecutters are still visible — craftsmen signed their work or marked seating areas for different social ranks. Acoustic Sweet Spot: Guides often demonstrate that a whisper from the center of the orchestra floor carries clearly to the highest rows — a perfect spot to test Roman sound mastery. Modern Revival: The Chorégies d’Orange festival, revived in 1869, continues the Roman tradition of open-air performances. Modern productions still use the original wall as a natural stage backdrop, with no need for amplification.

What a beautiful place to have a live concert. Also great history. Lots of children on day camp trips, but still not too long of lines. It is very hot in June, but if you tick to the caves where there are many educational exhibits, then it is bearable. I went over a decade ago, and today experience was much nicer. The VR concert experience was a hit with the family.

Parc de la Colline Saint-Eutrope

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Park
Sights & Landmarks
Parc de la Colline Saint-Eutrope, located in the heart of Orange, is a public park offering breathtaking panoramic views of the town, as well as Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail. The hill, once a Roman lookout point, features remnants of a 12th-century chateau that was once home to the princes of Orange.
Great park on a hill, with a really wild and natural feeling. There are many viewpoints on top from where you can admire the town and the surrounding stunning landscape, with the aim of two maps you'll find there too. It takes just a 15-20 minutes walk, mostly on stairs. I really recommend it at dawn and sunset.

A very quiet over night stop in the Park car park. If it's full there is a overflow car park on gravel very close, but uneven. The park was busy with a school education outing. The info board is interesting, use Google lens to translate the description. The drive up is one way, very narrow at the start with short in height bollards so not suitable to A-class MH, it was tight for a 6m campervan. Getting down the one way system was pretty step as expected.

Colline Saint-Eutrope is a great public park that's situated in the middle of the town of Orange. To reach the top on foot from the center, walk around the Roman theatre and find steps that go uphill. From there, it's quite a steep climb. Once there, the view is enough to make you forget the climb. But there's a few green paths to discover, a children's playground and more.

It is one of the highest points, at 105 m, where the remains of the old castle of the Princes of Orange are located. There is a statue of the vierge Marie and remains of the old castle of Nassau. Its current state in ruins is due to the fact that Louis XIV in 1672 ordered to besiege the citadel and destroy it, in retaliation against Guillaume III, who defended the interests of his nation (Netherlands) and the Protestant religion. From the hill you can see the whole city and the Roman theater in all its majesty.

The Bridge of Avignon

Mentioned on 
26 lists 
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Bridge of Avignon, also known as Pont Saint-Benezet, is a famous medieval bridge with four arches spanning the Rhone River and featuring a small chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas. Located in the culturally rich city of Avignon in the Provence region, this historic site is just one of five UNESCO world heritage sites in the area.
I spent around 20 minutes at the Pont d’Avignon**, and it was absolutely worth it. The bridge, though only partially standing today, carries so much history and charm. Walking along the remaining arches with the Rhône River flowing below and the old city walls in the background feels like stepping into a living postcard. Even in a short visit, you get a real sense of Avignon’s medieval past — the connection between the bridge and the nearby Palais des Papes is fascinating. The site is peaceful, with lovely views over the water and the surrounding countryside. For just 5 EUR, it’s a quick but meaningful stop — perfect for anyone exploring Avignon and wanting a glimpse of its history and beauty in under half an hour. Visited: October 10, 2025 Duration: ~20 minutes Highlights: The historic arches, river view, and quiet atmosphere that captures the spirit of old Avignon.

To be honest I cannot say I liked it! Lots of people, they check your bags. The same way to go to the gardens but when we bought tickets no one told us the gardens are closed for 2 years already. They have toilet in the corner. Views much better from the castle. Maybe 🤔 from another side of the river view much better.

You're telling me I have to pay to walk on a bridge that doesn't even go the full way across the river it is built on? Do you know how many bridges I have crossed--for free--that DO fully cross their respective river? EVERY OTHER BRIDGE I HAVE EVER CROSSED. It does offer a nice view of the city, at least.

Lovely remains of a bridge on which you can walk and learn about it, the Rhone, and the Avignon Popes -- proceed included in your ticket for the Palais des Papes.

Definitely worth a visit! The entrance is only €5, and although the audio guide can be a bit confusing at times, the visit is still very worthwhile. The video about the reconstruction is especially interesting and clearly explained. In short: a small price for a rich and unique experience!

The Bridge in the Nowhere — because, well, it’s not exactly taking you anywhere anymore! But that’s part of the charm of the Pont Saint-Bénézet, a historic bridge in Avignon that stands proudly as a symbol of the city, even though it no longer spans the Rhône River entirely. Fun Facts: • The bridge originally had 22 arches, but now only four remain. The missing arches were destroyed over time due to floods and natural wear. • Saint Bénézet, after whom the bridge is named, was a shepherd who, according to legend, was told by God to build the bridge. He supposedly carried a large stone across the river by himself to prove his divine mission. • The bridge is also famously featured in the popular French song “Sur le Pont d’Avignon,” which has made it internationally recognizable. This beautiful structure is a marvelous sight, offering a peaceful stroll across the remaining arches. The view of the Rhône River and the surrounding city is stunning, and the serene walk gives you a sense of stepping back in time. You can almost imagine how it must have felt centuries ago when the bridge was a vital crossing point connecting the north and south of the river. As for the history, the Pont Saint-Bénézet dates back to the 12th century and was a critical part of medieval trade routes. Over time, however, it fell victim to both natural disasters and warfare, leaving only a few of its arches still standing. Despite the passage of time, the bridge remains a powerful reminder of the city’s medieval significance and the ingenuity of its builders. Admission is €5 for adults, and it’s free for those under 18. For visitors over 64, there is a discounted rate — €4.

Good day outing activity. One bridge and chapel in the middle with historic importance to avignion. You need to buy the ticket the price doesn't justify it . However beautiful on a sunny day out . If you have a plan to go to palace de Pope which you should do ....they will seel combo tickets where you will find tickets couple of euros cheaper . Give yourself 3 hours for descent exploration for both attractions. Do not each musesls and french fries from any of the shops nearby . It's all pre cooked and served cold . We wasted money in 2 different occasions. Do good research and enjoy lunch . Book in advance as place is very popular.

Very interesting enjoyable experience with this small train. It goes around all famous places in the old town of Avignon. You will be excited about the professionalism of the train’ driver who manages to drive 3 carriages in the very tiny streets, which are too smalls even for people. Trains leave every 30 minutes from the main square next to the Pape Palace from 9am (first train) till 20:00 (the last train during summer period). The ride takes about 45 minutes.

Booked the 10am bus tour and arrived at 9h45. They never opened. Came back at noon, still not open. Only when I requested a refund did someone get back to me to say the bus had an accident.

Jardin des Doms is a picturesque public garden located on a hill in Avignon, offering stunning views of the Rhone River and the countryside. The park features a pond, a cafe, tall trees, fountains, and sculptures, making it an ideal place for leisurely strolls while enjoying the panoramic scenery. Visitors can access the garden for free during its opening hours from 7:30 AM to 8 PM.
Rocher des Doms — beautiful, but absolutely freezing in jan Even just looking at this photo brings back the chill of that day 🥶 I always imagined Provence as mild and sun-kissed, but Avignon in January? Brutal. From the viewpoint of Rocher des Doms, I got a view of the Rhône River gently cradling the city — and the iconic broken span of Pont Saint-Bénézet stretching across it. It was stunning… but way too cold to even think about walking over to that bridge.
Yesran — Google review
A bit difficult to find the entry point. You have to exit the walled part of the city on the north side and find the stairs leading up to the garden and lookout. Currently not wheelchair accessible. Hardly anyone there. It would be a peaceful spot to have a picnic or read a book overlooking the Rhône. Currently some parts are fenced off, and the area looks a bit rundown. There is a great semicircular tiled map indicating important landmarks visible on the horizon and in the environs. However some of the trees have grown so tall you can't see the landmarks!

Jardin des Doms is a true gem in Avignon, offering a serene and picturesque escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Perched on a hill, this beautiful garden provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Rhône River, the iconic Pont d’Avignon, and the surrounding landscapes. The garden itself is meticulously maintained, with well-tended lawns, colorful flowerbeds, and charming shaded pathways. It’s the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll, relax on a bench, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The layout is both elegant and inviting, making it a wonderful spot for a quiet moment of reflection or a leisurely picnic. One of the standout features of Jardin des Doms is the stunning views it offers. From the garden, you can capture some of the best photo opportunities in Avignon, with the city’s historic landmarks beautifully framed against the backdrop of lush greenery. The garden is also home to several statues and fountains, adding to its charm and providing interesting focal points throughout your visit. It’s clear that a lot of care and effort goes into preserving the garden’s beauty and ensuring that visitors have a memorable experience.

These are lovely gardens just beyond the Cathedral and almost to easy to miss altogether. There are some stunning views of the bridge and river as well as an interesting exhibition of enlarged black and white photographs dotted around the gardens. There is a delightful cafe in the middle of the grounds alongside a water feature making it a great place to have a sit down whilst having a competitively priced coffee.

This is the most beautiful garden in Avignon, that you can access the bridge. But going up was not easy. Use the access road near the palas papes. Quiete amazing view of the city. I was lucky to capture one of the ducks at the fountain. It's beautiful. Overall its a nice place to visit.

Palais des Papes

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Palais des Papes, once a rival to the Vatican, is an imposing structure consisting of two different parts: the severe Palais Vieux and the more decorative Palais Nouveau. The interiors are austere due to the loss of original furnishings during history, but visitors can still imagine its medieval splendor with colorful frescoes and grand halls. The palace hosts cultural events in its beautiful courtyard, showcasing performances in various languages.
Incredible integration of technology with the “iPad” tour. This is one of the coolest places I’ve ever seen and the art installation was so interesting! Honestly could have spent a whole day here but capped it at 3 hours… good idea to eat first because you can stay here for hours. GREAT for families and kids. So much to see
Jeff S — Google review
An interesting, if slightly disappointing, point of interest. The structure is amazing. A palace and fortress, it commands your attention. However, the interior is sterile. No furniture, tapestries, or frescoes. Only a couple chambers with faded wall coloration. Without the current art exhibition it would be largely colorless. The tour is also relatively short. There must be large sections not accessible to the public. The garden is neat and well cared for, but small. With all this in mind, it is still worth visiting for its historical significance and the architecture. Note: the iPad guidance is quite good. Take time to read the information boards placed throughout the tour. Get tickets in advance online for a timed entry.
Michael L — Google review
Everything is massive in this fortress and palace at the same time that was built in two stages. The Old Palace (1335–1342) built by Pope Benedict XII and the New Palace (1342–1352) Pope Clement VI, the Magnificent. It's one of the largest medieval gothic buildings in Europe. Seven successive French popes resided here between 1309 and 1377, fleeing the political turmoil and insecurity in Rome, When you enter you get a Histopad which is a handy tablet which you can use to navigate through the building. A nice feature is the historic overlay that you activate by scanning a logos in the different rooms. The overlay then shows the situation as it would be in 1352, the year of completion of the palace and the Papal Conclave and Election of Innocent VI after Pope Clement VI died. The rather dull interiors are brightend a bit by modern art. The garden is small and really not worth the extra money you hsve to pay to visit it. It took me two hours to see all the rooms and climb up to the ramparts to get a view of the surrounding area. Oh, and the taste in the 14th century is different from today. Roasted peacock anyone? And a glass of Chateau-Neuf-du-Pape ?
Seimen B — Google review
A disrespectful use of this unique historic monument, reduced to a playground for some contemporary artist. The two stars go for the historic significance of this monument and the indeed impressive structure. Unfortunately, it seemed to us that the team assigned with managing this monument was decided to cut any ties to what they must have considered to be embarrassing art from the era when the Palais was at its finest: they basically degraded the Palais des Papes to an exhibition center of contemporary artist Jean-Michel Othoniel. Fact is that none of the visitors went to “Palace of the Popes” to see some modern art exhibition. Instead of investing the money to maintain the rooms and gardens, they managed to destroy the experience. You can’t possibly feel the vibe of the place while constantly being distracted, intruded and violated by some pieces of art, which are basically in the wrong place. The tour is a bit chaotic but we got it sorted out by asking the helpful personnel. The tablets - initially I thought a good idea - turned out to be a semi-functioning annoyance (have to carry it around, too heavy to sit on the neck). I would rather enjoy the monument by “breathing it in”, look at it in awe, not keep scrolling on a tablet. Most signs with explanations were in French. If someone does not appreciate the Christian history, the religious art of that time or might even be embarrassed by all of those uncool people of that period, they probably shouldn’t be involved with managing this site. Let them run a modern art gallery: I would gladly visit it. But just as when I go to the MOMA I don’t expect it to be full of medieval religious art, when I go to the Palace of the Popes I probably don’t expect it to be full of modern art. This here is unworthy: Show some respect to the history and significance of this place and the people who created it. This is not just another playground. Please!

The signage inside the buildings was a bit problematic and sometimes the tablet got stuck and didn't work well, but overall it was lovely.

(Translated by Google) During my visit to your store I was the victim of fatphobia (being large) by one of your employees. Having rainy weather I put my umbrella on the side to avoid getting water into your store. When going to the checkout I decide to go and collect it by passing through the small space between the checkout and the queue post which obviously does not have any more to the gentleman in front of the entrance to your North African type store, an elderly man who I think was doing security in front of the entrance. This one asks me why I didn't go all the way around the store to collect my umbrella, I tell him that it wasn't that serious and make him understand that the object was recovered anyway so that he replies with a mocking tone "you had to go around, you have to exercise" It is unacceptable to be welcomed like this, especially in a store of a major brand. I hope this gentleman will get back to you with this message! Unacceptable! (Original) Lors de mon passage dans votre magasin j’ai été victime de grossophobie ( étant forte de corpulence ) par un de vos employés. Ayant un temps pluvieux je dépose mon parapluie sur le côté pour éviter de faire rentré de l’eau dans votre magasin. Lors du passage en caisse je décide d’aller récupérer celui ci en passant dans le petit espace entre la caisse et le poteau de file d’attente qui visiblement n’a pas plus au monsieur devant l’entrée de votre magasin de type maghrébin, âgé qui je pense faisais la sécurité devant l’entrée. Celui ci me demande pourquoi je n’ai pas fait tout le tour du magasin pour aller récupérer mon parapluie, je lui dis que ce n’était pas si grave que ça et lui fais comprendre que l’objet a été récupérer de toute façon pour qu’il me réponde avec un ton moqueur « il fallait faire le tour, faut faire du sport » C’est inadmissible d’être accueillie de la sorte surtout dans un magasin d’une grande marque.

I kindly asked her to remove the lock so I could try on the shorts that went with the dress. She didn't want to come inside the changing room so I moved. She held up the dress in front of practically the entire store. She then made a hole in the dress. She told me that the shorts wouldn't fit and that I would make a hole in them and that if I make a hole in them I would have to pay for it. I plan to buy this dress and other items. She asked me to take this dress off immediately. I am very unhappy with the reception. Instead of selling items, she denigrates us. Review your employees.

(Translated by Google) The price displayed on the shelf was different from the one at the checkout. After more than 20 minutes of waiting and much insistence, a manager finally intervened to apply the correct price, but with great difficulty, apparently due to a labeling error. The store is not commercial at all: the employees should rethink their salesmanship... or consider another career. A very frustrating experience for a brand like Lacoste. I will not return to this store. The star is only for the items found!! (Original) Prix affiché en rayon différent de celui passé en caisse. Après plus de 20 minutes d’attente et beaucoup d’insistance, un responsable est enfin intervenu pour appliquer le bon tarif mais avec beaucoup de mal apparemment erreur d'étiquetage.

(Translated by Google) Suggested rating: 0 stars Very negative experience — haughty and disrespectful salesperson I am extremely disappointed with my visit to the Lacoste Outlet in Miramas. I was treated in an unacceptable manner by a salesperson named Kevin. He was: Haughty and contemptuous toward me, Verbally aggressive, without any apology, Arrogant, believing that without a manager, he could get away with speaking ill of me without consequence. His behavior completely ruined my shopping experience, which was not insignificant (over €1,000 in purchases). Atmosphere, professionalism, and respect for the customer are supposed to be paramount in this type of store, and there is nothing like that here. I will not return, even though I am a regular customer, too bad, and I am extremely shocked by the attitude of this salesperson, who has not suffered any consequences.

(Translated by Google) We came yesterday to buy several items. My daughter then accompanied my father to the fitting rooms to give him her opinion. As she passed, she bumped into a woman who got angry. My daughter immediately apologized. The woman continued to complain. So I told the woman that my daughter had apologized, what else did she want? And then, the woman in charge of the fitting rooms grabbed me by the shoulders and asked me to leave. I asked her to stop touching me several times. So I went to see the security guard and the store manager, telling them that it was unacceptable for her to engage in this kind of behavior. Fortunately, and a huge thank you to them, I was listened to, and the security guard was extremely kind and considerate... Otherwise, the products and prices are really very attractive.

Carpentras Synagogue

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Synagogue
Sights & Landmarks
Carpentras Synagogue, dating back to 1367, is the oldest active synagogue in France. Initially welcoming Jews into papal territory, it became inconspicuous by the 17th century. The wood-paneled prayer hall was rebuilt in an 18th-century baroque style and downstairs holds bread-baking ovens used until 1904. The synagogue's rich history includes an extension in the 18th century and a mikveh from the 14th century.
This was one of the highlights of my visit to the Luberon/Vaucluse area of Provence. The synagogue dates from the 1300s and is completely original. It is the oldest active synagogue in France, although these days the community of Jews in Carpentras numbers only 70 families - there are much larger communities in Marseilles, Avignon and other larger cities. I was especially pleased to be able to sit in this beautiful and inspiring place after having been disappointed by the synagogue in Cavaillon being closed for fear of terrorism. The two women who spoke to us about the synagogue (in French and English) were welcoming and knowledgeable. There is a menorah there which is nearly 1000 years old. During WW2, the citizens of Carpentras sheltered their Jewish community and dismantled the synagogue so that none of the beautiful things inside were destroyed. After the war, all these were brought out of hiding and reinstalled in the synagogue. The interior is made totally of wood and beautifully painted. The history of the Jewish community in Provence is rich and interesting, and this beautiful building was the centre of life in Carpentras.

The oldest synagogue in France. This location was in use since 1342. Very interesting visit.

You have to take a guided tour (90 minutes) for 7 € which are completely worth it. So if you‘re willing to spend the time, you won‘t be disappointed.

Interesting place, presenting not only the temple, but as well the "back office" - places where matza is being prepered, underground river that had been used for ceremonial ablutions. Our guide was very knowledgeable, even though, as he mentioned himself, was not a professional guide but a volunteer. The only drawback - the website says on Wednesdays the tour is guided in both English and French, unfortunately it is not true, our guide told us he couldn't speak English and French during the same visit becouse it would be boring...Whom for? I don't know. Luckily there was a very kind American lady speaking French, she helped us, and translated the most important information to English. Thank you again if you are reading this!

They have a very rigid policy that you must be there at exactly the time of the tour. We were not permitted entry minutes after, as the rules have changed. It is not open 2:30-4, but rather, they have tours you can book at those appointed times. The poor rating is because although we and others were misled by the conflicting information on the internet, they were extremely inflexible about letting small children see inside. Instead, they had to wait 90 minutes until the next tour.

Additionally, there are opportunities for short hikes and leisurely walks in less crowded areas.

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended! Fun and challenging course with fantastic views. The safety technique took some getting used to, but after that it went smoothly (and above all, very safe). I climbed with two kids (ages 9 and 13). We did the blue, red, and brown courses together. Brown was challenging, especially for the youngest, age 9. I also did the black and the long zipline with the oldest, age 13. Black is definitely challenging. It was great that height was never an issue for the kids. They could easily reach everything. (Book in advance and pay in cash) (Original) Aanrader! Leuk en uitdagend parcour met fantastisch uitzicht. Techniek met beveiliging was even wennen, maar ging daarna prima (en vooral erg veilig). Geklommen met twee kids (9 en 13 jaar). We hebben de blauwe, rode en bruine parcour samen gedaan. Bruin was uitdagend, zeker voor de jongste van 9. Met de oudste van 13 heb ik ook zwart gedaan en de lange zipline. Zwart is zeker uitdagend. Fijn dat lengte nooit problemen gaf met de kids. Ze konden overal goed bij.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful course in a stunning setting. At the beginning, you'll receive a clear introduction to the green course. The blue and red courses were easy to do. The brown course is for the more daring. I didn't do the black course. At the end, you can do a long zipline with a beautiful view of the valley. Please note: There are no food or drink options nearby. There are also no restrooms. (Original) Mooie parcours in een prachtige omgeving. In het begin krijg je een duidelijke initiatie op het groene parcours. Het blauwe en rode parcours waren goed te doen. Het bruine parcours is voor de durvers. Het zwarte parcour heb ik niet gedaan.

(Translated by Google) Even after a reservation we were sent home because the staff was going to be on lunch break about fifteen minutes later, which is more than enough time to welcome customers, implying that there was no time to take care of us. A few minutes later we saw a group of people getting into the bodriés. In addition, the welcome was really not warm and appropriate; we were treated as unwelcome from the start. (Original) Même suite à une réservation nous avons été renvoyé chez nous car le staff allait être en pose midi une quinzaine de minutes après ce qui est largement suffisant pour accueillir des clients sous entendant qu'il y avait pas le temps de nous prendre en charge, quelques minutes après nous avons vu un groupe de personne monté dans les bodriés.

Les Gorges du Toulourenc

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Hiking area
Nature & Parks
Les Gorges du Toulourenc is a stunning natural attraction located at the foot of Mt. Ventoux, offering a unique hiking and wading experience in a wooded canyon. The Toulourenc river flows through the picturesque Toulourenc Valley, accessible via Entrechaux or Malaucene. Hikers can embark on an amazing walk through the river, enjoying beautiful views and encountering chest-deep water in some areas.
We really enjoyed our walk through Les Gorges du Toulourenc. We drove there from L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and the drive itself was already lovely, passing through quiet villages and scenic countryside. We went with our two young children (3 years and 9 months), both in carriers, and it was definitely manageable. You do need to watch your footing in some parts, especially over the stones and in the water, but it was all part of the experience. We took it at a relaxed pace and had a very pleasant morning walk, with a picnic along the way. The surroundings are beautiful: clear water, peaceful nature, and a nice mix of shade and sun. A lovely outing overall and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Anja — Google review
Hiking in the Gorges du Toulourenc is a cool and refreshing experience. We parked at the Parking payant (summer), and walked via the D40A to the bridge. From there we walked downstream to the old bridge (on the Chemin Notre dame des Anges). Definitely wear shoes with strong soles, that makes walking on the pebbles in the river easier. Some passages are about 1 meter deep (we did the walk in June), but often you can also choose to walk on the banks. Returning upstream is a bit more difficult, but because the walk is not that long, it is certainly not that bad.
Jo D — Google review
Great place to cool off and go for an easy walk in the water. The car park is a few hundred metres before you get to the bridge or alternatively there is one a few hundred metres after the bridge with less space.

Gorgeous place. Plenty of parking available later in the afternoon. We were scared it would be crowded but crossed only 20-25 people during our walk around 3-4PM end of July. Highlight of our holiday. Warmly recommend. Prepare with water shoes/hat/sun protection/water resistant bag.
Marlon V — Google review
Went there on a sunny Saturday in July, there was still room at the northern parking lot (€10, CB/credit card only) at 10:00. At the Pont du Toulourenc we were welcomed by some local foresters who kindly requested not to wear sunscreen on the legs so as not to pollute the river. From there we took the beautiful GR91 hike left of the river (about 90 minutes) until we (almost) reached the Pont St Léger and then back through the river (150 minutes; I'd recommend swimming wear and sneakers with sturdy soles). Most people walk the river and back from the Pont du Toulourenc though. I'd recommend that for families. The pretty rocky spots are where the gorge gets narrow, about half way (2 km in). Do also read the other reviews!
Sander E — Google review
Amazing walk through the river, with the most beautiful views and water that gets chest deep in some places. It's essential to have water shoes because the river bank is stony. We took a long walk though the forest down on a trail that sometimes followed the river upstream until we reached a beautiful bridge, then we got into the water and we went all the way back through the riverbank until we reached another bridge where they sell ice cream 😁 bring a picnic and maybe a impermeable backpack.
Daniela T — Google review
What a great refreshing way to spend a day. Beautiful nature surroundings, crystal clear waters and some very remote-feeling peddle beaches to picnic and relax on the way. Loved it. We arrived at 9h30am on a Wednesday and had plenty of space left in the car park. (€10 cash, can stay the full day). You can follow my travels @revelintravel (insta)
Liesbeth V — Google review
Superb walk. From the parking lot (€10 in july and august) i walked down to the bridge which crosses the river and took the dirt track on the left hand side to walk upstream in the direction of Leger de Mt Ventoux. Ascending 200 meters in 2 kilometers offers a fantastic view over the gorge. Later it descends back to the river. This was approx 75 minutes. Reaching the next bridge crossing the river i started my way back through de water. The water was rather chilly but most time i could walk on the banks or just with the ankles in the water, sometimes i had to go in knee deep. Half way the gorge it starts to become more difficult to climb through the rapids. At the narrowest point, i had to go through 1.5 meter deep water to pass it. Back through the river took me about 3 hours. Really spectacular views but make sure the weather forecast is steady. The river doesnt have much power when quiet, but a sudden flood gives you really no possibility to escape at some points.

The animations at selected animal locations during the day were interesting and educational for children of all ages. Bravo to each animator! we attended the Saïmiri and elephant presentations.

One of the visual landmarks that watch over Provence. For cycling enthusiasts, climbing to the top is a once-in-a-lifetime goal. For those with sporty inclinations, the ascent can be approached both on foot (there are marked routes) and by bicycle. This time, we went up by car starting from Malaucenne. Numerous cyclists on the road, of all ages, to whom drivers must be cautious and offer them the necessary courtesy in traffic. I was impressed by several mountain running enthusiasts I met along the way. The scenery is superb, especially in the alpine hollow area, where the view is absolutely gorgeous at 360 degrees. Pay attention to the weather because, at the top, weather conditions can change radically in a few minutes. Even though it was hot down in the valley (34-36 C), up on the peak, it was only 20-21, and the cold wind was blowing hard. Have a jacket ready, too. Don't forget your supplies as upstairs there is only a souvenir shop and a small bar with a relatively limited offer. Even if you only have one day to visit Provence, if the weather is excellent and the sky is clear, I recommend starting the day with the ascent of Mont Ventoux and then checking off a few other unmissable places: Gordes, Roussilo on, Abbaye de Sennanque, Chateaxuneuf du Pape , Avignon.

You can’t help but feel it’s a cyclists mountain and large amounts of guilt plus ‘hats off’ to all cyclists who make it to the top. Don’t forget a nod to Tom Simpson’s monument near the top. Do read ‘Put me back on my bike’ by William Fotheringhay about his life.

(Translated by Google) Had a grill evening with DJ entertainment. I'll start with the positive: Ben, the DJ who is known throughout the region, who tours all the spots in the area, so this opinion does not concern him, there is nothing to say about his entertainment. For the rest, a nameless nullity. A shabby exterior, no decoration or even outdated, and a meal paid for 35€, where we were entitled to only 1 drink, (the following ones paid 4€ for alcoholic drinks, 2€ for soft drinks...), then a plate with exactly 2 sausages, an anorexic chicken leg, 1 tablespoon max of unsalted ratatouille, and 3 dauphine potatoes. THEN, a mini apple pie, like this, as is...all on paper plates. 35€!! Not even a mini starter, no cheese...Nada!!! We left hungry!!! Oh yes, I forgot 4 crackers on the tables when I arrived. I'm not demanding, but 35€ for that, no... A meal that didn't even deserve 20€... So, for an evening organization, sorry but for me, to avoid. Afterwards I only note this evening, I don't know the cabaret side. Too bad, it was promising... (Original) Passé une soirée grillade avec animation DJ. Je commence par le positif : Ben, le DJ qui est connu dans toute la région, qui fait le tour de tous les spots du coin, donc cet avis ne le concerne pas, y a rien à dire sur son animation. Pour le reste, d'une nullité sans nom. Un extérieur minable, aucune décoration ou alors hors d âge, et un repas payé 35€, où nous avons eu droit, à 1 seule boisson, (les suivantes étaient payantes 4€alcoolisées, 2€les soft...), puis une assiette avec exactement 2 saucisses, un cuisse de poulet anorexique, 1 cuillère à soupe max de ratatouille non salée, et 3 pommes dauphines. PUIS, une mini tarte aux pommes, comme ça, tel quel ...le tout dans des assiettes en carton. 35€ !! Pas même une mini entrée, pas de fromage...Nada !!! On est parti en ayant faim !!! Ha si, j'oublie 4 crackers sur les tables en arrivant. Je ne suis pas exigeante, mais 35€ pour ça, non..Un repas qui ne méritait même pas 20€...Alors, pour une organisation de soirée, désolée mais pour moi, à fuir. Après je ne note que cette soirée, je ne connais pas le côté cabaret. Dommage, c'était prometteur...

The Village Des Automates

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
"The Village Des Automates" is an outdoor amusement park featuring a variety of old-fashioned motorized figures, a petting zoo, and rides designed for children. Families can enjoy boat rides, mazes, giant slides, and pedal kart circuits. The park offers a spacious area with live animals and diverse attractions. While some of the displays show signs of age and certain rides may require maintenance, children seem to thoroughly enjoy the self-driven experience and the freedom to choose their next activity.
First I read the review and not quite sure if my children below 7 years will like here, the result is that this is the BEST place I chose for them to play. I think this is perfect park for those kids between 3-7 years. Four hours is not enough for my kids even they already have a lot of fun. Will for sure to visit again if we are here. Highly recommend if you have young age children.

Worst park visited. Adults paay entrance but there is nothing for them to do. Very low profile park. Nothing has to do with other theme parks. Not recommended
Haris M — Google review
An extremely disorganised place. Very busy on weekdays on summer holidays as they bring large groups of children who are in day camp. Considering the very high entry cost, I thought it would be much more organised, with many more employees managing the different activities. As it was, I couldn’t tell if there was anyone in charge in the whole park. It’s not clear where to queue/wait. Very tempting for children to run off and adults just stressed about making sure they can still see their children amongst the sea of other children. If you do decide to go, make sure you have a 1 adult to 1 child ratio for children under 6.

It is an amazing place for children between 3 and 13 years old. There are so many activities that one can easily spend the whole day there. My family really enjoyed and I do recommend it

Driving out from Marseilles airport few hours after a tiring journey and made a last minute decision to take the kids (5 and 8 yo). They now say day 1 of our 10 day vacation was their favourite because of this place so there you have it. A lovely park under the pines, full of curiosities and fun activities.

You definitely can feel the age of some of these rides and automaton displays, but our daughter loved it so much she cried when we left. Huge space, huge variety, live animals too, bit of walking between rides in some areas. Some are a bit difficult for the minimum ages (like the trampoline nets in the trees, daughter couldn't pull herself up the ladder). Only bad thing to say is some rides need maintenance (again, showing age) or would be so amazing if they had a li'l something extra. There was some sort of Easter hidden egg search going on (find cards in the automaton displays w/ letters on them), but we received no info from the ticket counter when we entered. The three rides we did the most are the 5+ story slides, the chipmunk bikes you ride around the automaton display in the whale, and the inner tube hill.

Even after some of the negative reviews we decided to still come here. Maybe some of the attractions were a bit older, but most important is that the kids enjoyed themselves. And they had a blast, didn't want to leave at all. A lot of shading from the trees, a lot of benches to sit (in the shadow) and watch the kids play. The water park was also a success. We didn't have enough time to explore the entire park. 2 minor points If you come here to see the dinosaurs, they're not really worth it. The food was also not great, we only had the sweet crepes available, no sandwiches or other hearty food. And the sauces on the crepes were overly sweet and way too much sauce. It was the second week of July and it was quite empty, even better for us as the kids could do whatever they wanted without waiting.

After reading the Google reviews and looking at the available photos, we had LOW expectations. So we were extremely pleasantly surprised at how great this park is! We spent 4 hours there and could have stayed longer if we had the time. The attractions are diverse, well maintained, and a lot of fun. Lots of ziplines, climbing structures, slides, plus thematic attractions. Our kids are 6 and 7 and we'd definitely take them back. At first we thought 15 euros per person was a lot, but after spending so much time there and enjoying so many activities, we realized it is an excellent value. I'd say ideal age range is 3 to 12.

Ruines du château

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Awesome and easy visit to a seemingly epic castle. Great views on the village and Luberon. It’s easy to imagine how impressive the castle must’ve been.
Jesse R — Google review
Really calm with a wonderful view to the village. Not crowded and with easy access to walk around. The village is typical and out of tourist mass. Really nice and even better to have after the walk a drink in a local bar.
Miguel M — Google review
Beautiful little village with stunning views from the ruins. The ruins themselves also lead to the chapel.

The highlight of the village, a nice stroll to the top with a rewarding view above the Luderon

Saint Saturnin is as beautiful and interesting as Gordes. The castle's ruins were the most interesting aspect of this visit.
Guillaume S — Google review
Interesting ruins tho church was closed.
John H — Google review
Park near the public swimming pool (empty) and walk up into the village. If you go on a Tuesday it’s market day (v nice.) when you find the little corner w restaurants take the uppermost road to the castle from there follow the green dots on the ground. This is a fantastic find. Wander about over this large ruin as long as you want. Gorgeous ruins. At the top is a church consecrated in about 1050, but on a map from about 900AD. it’s locked btw. You can cross the empty reservoir and go to the windmill but it’s closed except for Sundays in July/Aug and idk if it works. If you want to take a picnic there’s a table across the bridge and up the hills under the pine trees which smell gorgeous. The walk is steep but if you can go up and down stairs a few times and own sneakers you should go for it bc the view is better than Rousillon or Bonnieux.

Fort de Buoux

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
If you enjoy some history and a great view, this is not to be missed. The “secret” back stairs down are steep and I’d be nervous taking a child down them but are worth the stress of climbing down. The little historical markers with descriptions add all the flavour you’ll need to whet your imagination 💭! I found myself constantly thinking about what the mountaintop fort must have looked like in medieval times and before when it was inhabited in prehistory.
Alexi B — Google review
Fort Buoux is stunning. The area is wide, there is so much to see. It was a hot day and we almost didn't want to enter, but we would have missed so many interesting and unforgettable views. Highly recommend, well worth the climb!
Regine I — Google review
Quiet, hidden but immensely imposing fortifications perching on a rock looking over the valley(s), this location has a historical span from deep into prehistory up until the late middle ages. Even though there is such an abundance of ruins and rocks to look at, it feels almost like you are the first to discover it. Not at all frequented that much. The secret stairs are REALLY steep, and there is no handrail.
Simon W — Google review
The setting of this fort is just spectacular, gorgeous and huge rocks. If you like rocks you gotta go. On top of that, put yourself in the history of this fort and the people who were there before us, including going back to the stone age. I was blown away. The climbing through the fort was steep and I wished I hadn't done an earlier hike. The secret stairs at the end not to be taken lightly.
Anne B — Google review
Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.
Urszula J — Google review
Very nice views and worth the hike to the top and the steep secret staris downhill Too bad that you have to pay to enter as there is not much added value. €6 = Adult €5 = Child/Student (10-25years) Free = Child <10 years

Room Escape Games
Escape Hunt Aix - Marseille - Plan de Campagne offers an exhilarating experience for those seeking a thrilling adventure. Visitors can immerse themselves in cleverly designed escape rooms, such as the Prisoner's escape room, where teamwork and communication are essential to solving intricate puzzles within a set time limit. The blend of physical and written clues creates an engaging atmosphere that challenges participants without causing frustration. The venue is well-maintained, featuring decor that enhances the immersive experience.
Loved it! It was the first time I had ever done anything like it and it was an amazing experience. Two friends and I did the Prisoner's escape room and we barely got out in the time allotted. The riddles were clever and well thought out. There was also a really nice mix of physical as well as written clues/answers. It was hard enough that I felt really proud having made it out, but not so hard we got too frustrated to continue. The facilities were clean and the decor was on point. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We got to take a commemorative picture with props at the end too! As a bonus, it was possible to do the escape room in either French or English. Great experience, a must for any eager problem solver.

One of the best fun anyone can half in one hour. Probably not ideal for anglophones. Otherwise highly recommend. By the way... This place is not a joke or novelty.. its fun but its a REAL puzzle... And they are very high quality puzzles with logic actuators, proximity sensors. Just amazing. So well implemented and still feels simple.... But its definitely not simple... This will test everything you know

It was a great place with a nice room confit seat maybe the ticket machine was a bit confusing but we managed so should you.
