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
3N0 — Google review
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

Cultural center

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
To me it was an amazing experience to stand in the courtyard where Van Gogh used to be. Nice and peaceful place with the little fountain inside.
Agnieszka D — 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.
Iason S — Google review

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.

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.
Beeldtype — Google review
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

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.
Seimen B — Google review
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.

Cultural landmark
Sights & Landmarks
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.

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!

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!

Very interesting. So much better than the crazy tourist traffic and the hundreds of tour groups you have to wade through to see the Sistine Chapel. Low fees, no lines, very little crowding, and amazing history. Definitely a not to miss site. We visited the palace, gardens and bridge.

Particularly impressive. The exhibition was interesting alongside the impressive building. You get a tablet with explanations in adapted language and there are explanations. 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.

This palace is an awe-inspiring masterpiece of medieval power. Its vast Gothic walls dominate the skyline, and exploring its grand halls with the interactive Histopad brings history vividly to life. While the interiors feel sparse compared to the palace’s majestic exterior, the overall experience remains deeply atmospheric — a must-see for anyone drawn to architecture, history, or the echoes of Europe’s spiritual past.

(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. J’espère que ce monsieur aura un retour avec ce message ! Inadmissible !

(Translated by Google) When I came to this store I was the victim of fatphobia by the Asian saleswoman who was in the changing room. 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.

Je ne retournerai pas dans ce magasin. L'étoile est juste pour les articles trouvés !!

(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.

Son comportement a totalement gâché mon expérience d’achat qui d ailleurs n était pas négligeable(plus de 1000 euros d achats). L’ambiance, le professionnalisme et le respect du client sont censés primer dans ce type de boutique, et là, il n’y a rien de tel.

(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.

Park
Nature & Parks
Park Figuerolles, formerly a wealthy local family's estate and now owned by the council, offers something for everyone. Divided into three sectors, it provides both fun and educational experiences. The park features a climbing course with routes for children of different ages and various shaded picnic areas. Visitors can spend hours here enjoying the playground, leisure hikes along the seaside, and horse stables in the main area. Additionally, there are opportunities for short hikes and leisurely walks in less crowded areas.
It’s a amazing spot, i ride bike there, the view is fabulous, calm park with a lot of trees and also some activities to do.

This little castle was a real sight on a hot day. Visitors were few. So we had all the time in the world to walk the old stairs and chambers. The view from the top down on the vineyards is just gorgeous.
Annekathrin W — Google review
Located at the top of a hill, this historical landmark is visible from miles away. The castle in itself doesn't offer much except for visitors who love the Middle Ages. That said, this impressive building stands proudly and strongly. And the view is pretty spectacular. It's possible to hike paths coming from Caromb or Beaumes-de-Venise. No food, no beverages are sold there.
Maxi M — Google review
Great place to visit. Super friendly from the start. This is a castle & a home in restoration so don't expect suits of armour etc. But you will see some breathtaking scenery of Provence below you. There's a great treasure hunt for kids, possible whiskey tasting for adults & yummy food in the café. The visit to the chapel alone is worth going. Also In need of restoration the frescoes are stunning. Look forward to seeing the progress in a few years time.

We had a lovely experience in the castle, amazing story with the twice attempted renovation. Staff in the entrance were more than helpful and with a guide book it explained the history as we walked around. Loads to explore and well worth the entry fee.

We arrived at the Chateaux after a long day of touring. The drive along the vineyard roads was very beautiful. It was 5:00pm and closing time was 5:30 so we opted not to pay the 8.50 eu entry. Instead we walked around the chateau and enjoyed the beautiful views. Mt. Ventoux can be seen along with the rolling hills countryside. Breathtaking. We shall return another time.

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Zoo Barben is a wild animal park located on a rural plateau, offering 9km of walking trails and housing over 700 animals from 130 different species. Visitors can observe elephants, leopards, rhinos, tigers, bears, panthers, reptiles, and colorful tropical birds in spacious enclosures. The zookeepers conduct talks and displays to educate visitors about wildlife preservation and awareness. Families with children can enjoy the bird show and watch monkey feeding as well as elephant feeding.
Great Zoo, well maintained, animals looking good and a great variety of animals. The train did not work because it was a weak day so it was a bit difficult with all the walking and stairs but overall a great experience.
Dotan E — Google review
Excellent zoo for a day out with the kids/family. We really enjoyed the bird show (be on time) and our kid loved the playground situated in the center of the park. We went on a weekday in the middle of the holiday period and it was not crowded at all. Prices are normal for a zoo of this size

we visited the Barnes zoo with our granddaughter on a very hot day. However, the shade trees allowed us to remain refreshed by the breeze on this beautiful plateau in Provence. A wonderful assessment of wild animals, reptiles and various birds...so much for just one visit. 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. The play park was fun and diverse as well as the overall quality of construction very satisfying. We also found the price of admission and the prices of food and drinks quite reasonable. a very impressive visit for us so hats off to those of the Barbens parc animalier!!

A fantastic day out with the kids awaits at Zoo de La Barben! This is an excellent choice for a family trip, offering a clean and enjoyable environment. You'll find a great playground right in the middle of the zoo, perfect for letting the kids burn off some energy. While the food options on-site are limited, what's available is tasty. All in all, it’s a wonderful place to spend a day and make some lasting memories.

We were visiting friends in the area and took the kids to this place. It's certainly not a modern, flashy amusement park, but the kids had a great time nonetheless, especially enjoying the bumper cars, haunted house, and lasso demonstration. The place has an American Wild West theme, with a charming old town area. The workers were all super-friendly -- the day we went, it was somewhat rainy, so the lines weren't very long. The bumper car attendant let the kids have an extended session of around 15 minutes! Food was decent, although the kitchen seemed a bit understaffed.

The area offers opportunities for hiking and biking, allowing visitors to explore the wild canyon filled with caves and enjoy breathtaking views from Belvedere du Castellaras of the Rocher du Cire.
Cycled up from, and back down into, Villes sur Auzon. I’m not a great cyclist so it was a challenge but worth it for the views from the top. Would have been nice to have a cafe st the top but it’s an easy run back into town do not a problem. Stopped to buy honey from local producer on way back down. Don’t look over the edge if you’re worried about heights 🥴

Wonderful views at amazing canyons and rocks, you don't need to fly to the states to see the g Grand Canyon, this also is possible in south of france at the Gorges de la Nesque! Beautiful and awesome...with the king of the Provence in the background - the mont ventoux! Sonst miss the drive through the Gorges de la Nesque!
Thomas R — Google review
This is a must-do climb regardless of gour level of fitness and type of bicycle. Go for it, you won't regret it. From Ville-sur-Auzon, it's a gentle climb on a well-surfaced road. The last 6 km are a bit steeper but hardly. The climb from Méthamis takes more time because the road tarmac isn't smooth. It' also more challenging. Whichever way you go, you are rewarded with spectacular views and a breath-taking landscape. On a lucky day, cyclists can also enjoy an aerial ballet provided by either wild falcons or la Patrouille de France squad, the French version of the Eed Arrows. Avoid weekends as the slopes are busy with motorcycles going up and down. Some overspeeding or cutting lines. On the 25th of May 2025, La Nesque will be closed to all forms of motorized vehicles. This is great news indeed. This should happen once a month between May and October, shouldn't it?

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.

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.

Cézanne's studio

Mentioned on 
17 lists 
Temporarily Closed
Art museum
Museums
Cézanne's studio, located on Les Lauves hill in Aix-en-Provence, was designed by the artist himself in 1902. Although he primarily painted outdoors, the studio served as a retreat during cold weather. Preserved as he left it, the studio offers a tangible connection to Cézanne for his admirers. Just north of the studio is Les Lauves, where Cézanne often painted Mont Sainte-Victoire.
Really nice experience. Amazing to step into Cezanne’s atelier and see some of the pieces that used to be there at the time. Lovely tour guide and very friendly staff at the shop. Would definitely recommend reserving a spot in advance on their website. And don’t forget to walk up the hill of painters afterwards for a great view and experience where Cezanne used to create part of his art.
Hannah — Google review
We enjoyed the guided visit very much. The guide spoke excellent English and described many interesting vignettes about Cezanne's years in the studio and efforts to preserve it after his death. We look forward to returning to see the progress on restoring more of the studio.

A lovely place to visit, even though there is only one room to see. The most interesting part was listening to our guide, who is very knowledgeable (and speaks English perfectly)! I hope that eventually this space will be even more interesting, with more things to view and I'm grateful that they do their best to save the remembrances of a great painter.

Adam M — Google review
The studio I visited itself is one room and oat of some gardens. It's not accessible and it's a ways from the city center. On the way back to our horn we had to wait over 1 hour for the bus (it was a Sunday) and no Ubers / Bolts were available that could fit a wallet on the trunk. So it just wasn't worth it for the mobility aspect given that we saw one room.

Jon O — Google review
We tried to book for the museum but that was sold out many weeks before we arrived so thought a tour of his studio would be great. Ticket €9.50 each, says to arrive 20 minutes before your time slot. No idea why especially as only 3 chairs to sit on in the gift shop/waiting area. The staff at the desk weren’t particularly friendly. Our guide introduced himself and off we went through the garden, stopped to warn us about the path (it was very wet and slippery), and we arrived at his house. We entered the first room on the ground floor, stood around and given a background into Cezanne’s life. Then up the stairs to the studio. Stools provided to sit and hear more about Cezanne’s life and approach and then items of interest in his studio. There is his easel, a palette and a few bits and pieces but that’s about it. It’s a very empty space really for a studio and doesn’t give you a feel for how he worked here or how the space was really used. It’s a room basically. And that’s the tour, which a quick read of a website could have provided. Our guide was nice enough. He has perfect English however has a very thick French accent and spoke very fast so made it difficult to understand him ( I work with people from across the globe so very comfortable with accented English but even I struggled). NB. parking nearby is a nightmare so in fact turning up early proved to be a good idea purely to find a place to park. Tip- buy tickets online ahead as it does sell out.

I must be missing something for this to get an average of four on Google. A very sporadic display - no story or theme really linking them. Limited educational text. If it’s pouring with rain and you want 10 minutes out of the weather then maybe, otherwise a waste of 6 euro entry. Also like another reviewer mentioned we were followed around the museum as if we were a group of naughty school children in a corner shop. Weird.
James P — Google review
By my understanding and standards, this place cannot be considered a museum. There are hardly any objects on display. I entered with the hope of finding an ethnographic museum, but it was a disappointment. Moreover, if you don’t know French language like us, you won’t be able to read anything or understand the visual presentations. Even if you consider the entrance fee as a donation, you’d be better off spending your time exploring the historic streets of this beautiful city.

Very limited collection focussing mainly on ecclesiastical themes… no English translations so only go if you are passionate about the history of Aix and can speak good French!

There wasn’t much to see, unfortunately. I was hoping to get a look at the mansion’s interior and some original furniture, but it turned out to be a small museum with just a few Cézanne paintings upstairs, and some rather creepy puppet dolls 😂

The city was founded in 123 B.C. but the museum touches on the period starting from the 17th century only. You'll see a few models and artifacts from that era but you won't learn much about the actual history of the city for the most part. The displayed paintings are mostly related to Cezanne's fellow artists/friends, half of the museum could be regarded as a small extension of Musée Granet which is dedicated to Cezanne himself and many more painters. There's a room with an interesting 3D model for a cupola project of St. Peter's Basilica (Vatican), the video is quite interesting telling the story of the project but the connection to Aix is that a collector bought the model in Italy and brought it to Aix. The museum has some artifacts but it's missing out most of the city's interesting history unfortunately. It can be a nice break for 20-25 min if you are in downtown, entrance is free on the first Sunday of the month!

Followed around the entire museum like we weren't trustworthy. Made me feel pretty uncomfortable. I left after about 7 minutes.

Nice small museum, however the ticket vendor quite blatantly tried to short change me, then pretended she hadn't noticed the 2€ in her hand. The actual museum attendant was helpful though.

Cr Mirabeau

Notable street
Neighborhoods
Points of Interest & Landmarks
A tree-lined boulevard in Aix, Cours Mirabeau is celebrated for its restaurants and fountains. It's ideally situated to enjoy the works of Paul Cezannes, as his parents worked on the street in a former hat shop. The wide thoroughfare is popular with shoppers and tourists alike, who can take a stroll to imagine what it was like to walk the same streets as Cezanne himself.
Open spacious area with shops and restaurants. Lots of fountains all over with it’s uniqueness.

There are so many small, amazing streets in Aix-en-Provence, that Cours Mirabeau pales in comparison with. Of course, if you are there, you need to see it, but we’ve spent hours walking on the streets around it.

Hôtel de Caumont

Art center

Hôtel de Caumont is an elegant 18th-century mansion located in the Mazarin neighborhood of Aix-en-Provence, known for its art exhibitions, courtyard gardens, and a charming café. The mansion showcases Parisian influences and represents a beautiful illustration of French architecture from that era. It follows an architectural design that emphasizes the interplay between courtyard and garden, creating a harmonious urban oasis.
This place is truly unique, with its architecture, art-filled ambiance, elegant décor, and stylish furniture, as well as its beautiful garden. We had a wonderful time sitting in the garden section of the restaurant, enjoying our coffee and delicious dessert in a refined atmosphere with excellent service. If you’re a tourist in the city like us, this is a must-visit spot—you might even come across an art exhibition!

Cute place to visit. You can walk around the ground floor for free, and get to the garden. The exhibition is paid, and there is also a restaurant/cafe which you can visit and enjoy a drink/food in the small garden or inside. The interior is pretty interesting and there were a lot of artworks to be seen all around. We were especially amazed by the small labyrinth (parterre design) in the back garden. 🥰

A gorgeous oasis of peace, style and refinement in the heart of Aix-en-Provence. I loved the 30' film about Cezanne's life showed as part of the visit. The permanent collection is interesting and the layout of the building impressive. The two leveled garden is wonderful in all seasons...and the elegant café adds to the experience. An absolute pleasure and a treat. A reminder that.. La vie est belle...

Always a magical visit to this special space displaying the current art scene in the heart of Aix en Provence. Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition was incredible! The permanent sculpture and painting installations are incredible (on the first two floors) as is the Jardin and the gift shoppe that transports you to an era gone by ! Buy tickets in advance online.

Enjoyed the perfect early afternoon here. I began with lunch, toured the art exhibition, then topped off my visit relaxing in the rear garden. Perfection.

Very nice museum in a lovely old building in the middle of Aix. Currently an inspiring exhibition with works by French sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle. While there be sure to visit the beautiful garden. The cafe is nice and fits well with aura of the museum.

Went to the Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition which had outstanding organization, presentation, and descriptions in both French and much appreciated English. We also had a wonderful lunch at the café and enjoyed the Cezanne movie.

We were here to see the exibition of Niki de Saint Phalle. The hotel is very beautiful. Unfortunately we couldn't see the cafe because it was closed for a private visit but we saw it from the door; very colorful...

Specialty Museums
Located in Aix-en-Provence, Musée Granet is a renowned art and sculpture museum housed in the former Knights of Malta center. The museum boasts an impressive collection of works by celebrated artists such as Rembrandt, Ingres, and Cezanne. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum also signed an agreement with Fondation Jean et Suzanne Planque in Lausanne to showcase modern and contemporary artworks for 15 years.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t see the Cézanne permanent collection since it wasn’t available during my visit in May 2025. But the rest of the artworks were really cool and worth seeing. The layout of the museum was clear and easy to follow — you won’t get lost. A great museum experience overall!

An extraordinary Cezanne exhibition covering his early to later works. Tickets only available via online portal and do expect a crowd- but it is a must if in Aix. The museum’s smaller permanent exhibition is also worth a (less crowded) visit.
Søren B — Google review
The temporary exhibition about Cezanne was fabulous however the organisation of the museum leaves huuuuuge space for improvement. The tickets can not be bought in the museum even if the next available slot is in the next 30 minutes. You have to buy online or in tourist office which is 700 meters away. The most ridiculous solution I’ve ever encountered in any other museum. You’re advised to come 30 minutes before just to stand in the queue. Instead of letting people enter on small groups they just put a mass of people to enter small space of the exhibition all together to make the small rooms super crowded. No logic at all. And the worst out of it is the stroller unfriendly policy! Nowhere at the stage of buying tickets online you learn strollers are not allowed. You learn it when entering museum. Parent must carry the child all the time. As I was nowhere before made aware of it I didn’t bring any baby carrier. They finallly made exception for me after consulting their head of security 🤯 the museum has lifts inside but first you need to make two round of stairs in front to enter the building which is a tough barrier for people with strollers or with wheelchairs. This all happens in France and touristic town! Shame and the difficulties they made for people with reduced mobility and first of all not informing the customer on the stage of buying ticket just spoils the whole experience. The staff also is not very helpful as this is a bother to have reduced mobility person as a visitor. Only one woman on the lower floor was actually nice. The rest was behaving as this is such a nuisance. Total disappointment and I’ve been to hundreds of museums before. 2 stars as the exhibition was first class but organisationally it’s a HORRIBLE place.

The Cezanne exhibit is fantastic and well worth the price! They've brought together a fantastic collection and traced it though his life to show the evolution of style and use of light. The price includes the rest of the collection, and it was well organized to get in with timed entry, keeping it not too busy inside. If you're lucky enough - catch it before Oct 16 :).

Wonderful space and comprehensive Cezanne expo visited in October 2025. There was a significant queue for the expo, which is reassuring! There are plenty of us still looking for beauty and inspiration in art! Will be back!

The Cezanne show was a great idea. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to truly appreciate it. We had tickets for the 12:30pm time slot and while the museum staff tried their best, people with other time slots were able to get in ahead of us. The que was in a side street that was partially closed to public but somehow people were skipping the que and going in. Once in, the museum was mobbed and there were large guided groups that monopolized the most significant pieces making it practically impossible for individuals to get close. The guide giving a lecture in front of the piece and the group (some even set up folding chairs!), took over entire rooms so those of us behind couldn’t get close. I’m sure the show was great and the city deserves kudos for a great effort but the museum needs to reconsider whether they can host individuals at the same time as they invite groups. The other issue is not the museum’s fault but a rule about it might help: photography should not be allowed when the museum is this busy. People stand in front of a piece with their phone, one after another, taking pictures of artwork that has been photographed millions of times preventing those of us behind to appreciate the work. No one is ever going to take as good a picture as the one sold in the museum shop post card or found in a book. I’m happy I was able to visit this beautiful exhibit but, unfortunately, it was not a particularly enjoyable experience.

The museum houses permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, in our case Cezanne a Jas de Bouffan 2025. The temporary exhibition was nice, the permanent one was fine but didn't entice me that much.
Johannes E — Google review
We went to see the Sezanne exhibition. It was really nice but unfortunately totally overcrowded although they are already limiting access with time slots. It also would have been great to understand more about the father -son relationship - the explanations were too short/ shallow and seemed contradictory at times.
