The best shopping in Arles isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Roman amphitheater and Roman theater are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Espace Van Gogh — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
A Provencal city where Roman ruins meet Van Gogh's landscapes, with one of France's most atmospheric old towns.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Arles. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Roman amphitheater — a 1st-century arena still used for events, seating 20,000, Roman theater — a 1st-century BC theater with two surviving columns, Van Gogh trail — marked locations throughout the city where Van Gogh set up his easel, plus hidden gems like Espace Van Gogh — the former hospital where Van Gogh was treated, now a cultural center with a garden recreating his painting and Alyscamps — an ancient Roman necropolis lined with sarcophagi, painted by both Van Gogh and Gauguin.
Use this page as a starting point for a Arles walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Arles. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Arles for history and art, but every walking route ends up passing through Roman amphitheater and Roman theater and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Espace Van Gogh — it reflects what the people of Arles actually buy, make, and value.
The Saturday morning market on Boulevard des Lices is unmissable. Arrive by 9am for the best selection.
