At the crossroads of the Alpilles, Montagnette, and Camargue, Tarascon has all the qualities of a Provençal town, built along the Rhône River at the heart of the golden triangle of Nîmes, Arles, and Avignon. Departure on foot towards the historic center of the old town to discover its heritage. The town center invites you to enjoy its relaxed way of life, its beautiful architecture, sober and elegant, and its pedestrian streets. Don’t miss the Tarasque, a mythical creature from Provence, said to be the origin of the town's name. Then head towards Les Baux-de-Provence and its Santon Museum. This village, perched on a rocky spur, boasts an incredibly rich architectural heritage. A true eagle’s nest in the heart of the Alpilles, Les Baux-de-Provence remains an unmissable Provençal destination, brought to life year-round by artists, artisans, and producers. Its citadel overlooks natural sites of extraordinary beauty. Visit the village and the Santon Museum, which houses a large number of pieces from various collections, including a traditional Provençal Nativity scene and the daily life of a 19th-century family displayed in two large showcases.
