    The amphitheatre is the most important monument of the former Roman colony that we should admire, some two thousand years after its construction. Its architecture is entirely designed in relation to its vocation of place to great shows, hosting a large audience. In their initial rise, the bleachers could receive approximately 21 000 viewers, streams were cleverly organized by a network of doors, galleries and stairs, on several floors.Become at the beginning of the middle ages a city close and fortified, the building was cleared only in XIX century. He himself then for part, its original function, including bullfighting, which earned him his current common appellation of "arenas".It is today the monument of the most visited city, bringing the image of Arles in the world.With a major axis of 136 meters in length and a minor axis of 107 meters, the amphitheatre of Arles is slightly larger than that of Nîmes and the 20th ranked among those of the Roman world. It has a shape of an ellipse. The façade includes two levels of sixty semicircular arches, separated by the abutments, massive rectangular section. A wider opening points out the ends of the two axes of the monument. The main entrance was not North as today, but the West where we can see the remains of a staircase overlooking the city.The cavea, space reserved for spectators, included 34 stands, divided into four series: the maeniana, where viewers were divided according to their social status. It is estimated the initial capacity of the monument to some 21,000 people.

The Romans, Van Gogh & Nostradamus

Published on Jun, 2024

A day in Provence with Christopher is like a dream you want to keep having over and over again. There was perfect communication even before we met...with a great solution as how to see everything on my wish list. Somehow between Arles & Saint- Remy we managed to view magnificent Roman ruins, the street where Nostradamus lived, and where Van Gogh underwent treatment as he continued to paint. And the smell of the lavender just added to the mood. Besides being charming, intellectual, personable and all around delightful, Christopher was very attentive to my energy since I was still recovering from a cold and not feeling at all like myself. It truly was like being shown the in's & out's of the most charming cities by a close, personal friend. I only wish we had more time to spend (and that I had felt better). Do not hesitate to take a tour with OohProvence. It is truly an OohLaLa experience!

Excellent historical overview

Published on Aug, 2021

We had a wonderful half-day private tour of Arles with Christopher from OohProvence. He showed us, and described the history of, the major sights in the city and also some of the off-the-beaten-track side streets of this charming town. He is personable as well as very knowledgeable, and the tour felt more like connecting with a very well-informed friend. In addition, Christopher went out of his way to email some travel tips for other parts of our journey that weren't related to this tour which was much appreciated. I highly recommend OohProvence!
