Day 6 - Arles, the Camargue Delta or Pont du Gard
We begin the day with a guided tour of pretty Arles, the
inspiration for many of Vincent Van Gogh's most famous paintings.
Van Gogh produced more than 180 pieces during his time in Arles,
including 'Starry Night over the Rhone' and 'Café Terrace at
Night', the location of which can be found in the Place du
Forum.
This afternoon, you have the choice of two excursions. Your
first option is a visit to the beautiful Camargue Delta, where the
Rhône opens out into the Mediterranean. This is a treat for nature
lovers, as the wetlands and parkland are home to hundreds of bird
species, including pink flamingos and wild horses which may be seen
roaming freely. Your second option takes you to the iconic arches
of the Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct which spans the
Gardon river, another World Heritage site. Later, we return to our
cruise ship and sail for Chateauneuf du Rhône.
