The Alyscamps necropolis and Saint Honnorat church

Les Alyscamps, a Christian necropolis listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a walk lined with remarkable sarcophagi. At the heart of the site, the church of Saint-Honorat marks the starting point of the Chemin d'Arles to Compostelle. This emblematic site, immortalized by Vincent Van Gogh in his works, is a veritable treasure trove of Provence. With every step you take between the majestic rows of slender cypress trees, you'll feel the evocative power of this place steeped in history. Les Alyscamps is much more than just a Roman cemetery. History lovers will find an alley of sarcophagi and chapels. Pilgrims will find the starting point of the Chemin d'Arles (a UNESCO World Heritage site) to Santiago de Compostela. And everyone will find a haven of tranquillity, where time seems to stand still. At the very heart of the Alyscamps site is the church of Saint-Honorat, a jewel of medieval architecture that plays a key role for pilgrims. Dating back to the 12th century, this spiritual site marks the starting point of the Chemin d'Arles, one of France's main routes to Santiago de Compostela. With its carved portal and serene atmosphere, the church invites contemplation and is the perfect introduction to this historic and spiritual route. With Luma Arles and Frank Gehry's modern Tower in the background, Les Alyscamps is a testament to the link between past and present, a place where history, art and nature blend harmoniously. To visit this site is to immerse yourself in a unique experience, where the soul of the place is revealed to those who take the time to explore it. To make the most of your visit, we recommend purchasing a pass (available from our online ticketing service), which will enable you to visit the city's various museums and monuments more economically. Guided tours and cultural events take place during every school vacation. Please note that although most of the site is accessible to people with reduced mobility, some areas may be difficult to access.
