Date: 12th, 15th centuries Period: Middle Ages Type : Religious architecture Status : Property of the City of Arles, classified as a Historic Monument (1840) Unesco World Heritage Site (1981) The Christian community of Arles was one of the first in Gaul, with the presence of a bishop attested as early as 254. What's more, Arles Cathedral was for a time the primatial cathedral of Gaul, and remained the seat of an archbishopric until the French Revolution. Today, it is a parish church. Initially located near the ancient rampart of Hauture, the cathedral was moved around the 5th century to near the ancient Roman forum. It was built in several phases, and the main part of the monument we see today dates from the 12th century, when its façade, initially sober, was enhanced by its magnificent historiated statuary. The building is one of the most important in the Romanesque style of Provence. It is also a relic church on the route to Compostela. A Gothic choir replaced the Romanesque apses in the 15th century. The monument was built in several phases. Its layout is typical of buildings in Provence: a high nave with five bays, vaulted in broken barrel and flanked by narrow side aisles; a very short transept, whose crossing is topped by a cupola and supports the bell tower. The choir comprised a main apse and two apsidioles. To the west, a sumptuously decorated portal completes the ensemble. Finally, in the mid-15th century, a long Gothic chevet with ambulatory and radiating chapels replaced the former Romanesque choir. Dedicated to the evocation of the Last Judgement, the portal is also a model of life for the faithful and an illustration of the glories of the Church of Arles. The composition superimposes three major themes: the assembly of patron saints, the divine epic and the human epic, from the original fall to the future fate of the chosen and the damned. The composition culminates in the solemn, triumphant image of Christ. The dominant feature of this masterly work is the breadth of its ancient inspiration, a Roman cultural heritage that symbolizes a true "renaissance".

The conventual chapel of the Abbey of Saint-Césaire, founded in the 6th century by the bishop of the same name, the church of Saint-Blaise is of interest to historians and archaeologists alike. It was built in three main stages, starting in the 12th century, but has nevertheless revealed earlier remains. Disused during the French Revolution, it was put to various utilitarian uses before being excavated in 1972 and 1982. Today, it is recognized as a heritage site of considerable interest, which could be enhanced in the Saint-Césaire enclosure project currently under study. The current building still bears the traces of its various additions and alterations. The oldest part features a non-protruding transept with two barrel-vaulted apsidioles. The crossing features a cloister-arched vault. Separated from the choir by two large cruciform pillars, a short nave bay with round arches is flanked by cramped side aisles. The second part, with its simpler architecture, sees the disappearance of the two narrow side aisles. Finally, the third, slightly narrower bay features acoustic vases at the base of the vault, designed to reduce the echo effects of the nave. The only piece of furniture to have survived is a painted gilded wood high altar, currently on loan to the Notre-Dame-de-la-Major church.

Craponne water is used for watering the Crau grasslands. "Water gates" carry water to the farmhouses The number of peri-urban areas has increased and water is also used for watering gardens. The flow of the canal can be very fast from June to August, it can go up to more than 31 000 L / second, is 1 / 6th of the average flow of the Durance. Irrigation of the grasslands recharges the groundwater of Crau which feeds the inhabitants of Crau in drinking water.

In 1554, Adam Craponne is at the origin of the design of the Canal de Craponne which connects the Durance to the Rhône via Salon-de-Provence then Saint-Martin-de-Crau and Arles. Water irrigates the meadows and Crau’s crops. Since its water intake in Lamanon, north of Salon-de-Provence, the flow of the canal is strong then it decreases and is very discreet on arrival in Arles where it is sometimes underground. A few centuries ago, this canal fed the wheat mills on the side of the Alyscamps.

The outlet of the Craponne canal allows the exit of irrigation water from the canal in the Rhône. The water that reaches this outlet is called the "lost blow". This is water that has not been used for irrigation due to excessive rainfall or because a user's water tower has not been respected. Rainwater has run down to the canal that raises the water level.

812 km long, the Rhône has its source in the Rhône glacier at over 2,400 m altitude, in Switzerland. It crosses Lake Geneva then Geneva and then arrive in France. It is in the Camargue delta that the river ends its course. In Arles, the Rhône is divided into two arms: the Grand Rhône to the east and the Petit-Rhône to the west and flows into the Mediterranean Sea at Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône and Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. River navigation on the Rhône is possible thanks to locks.

The road to Santiago de Compostela recalls the Apostle James present during the life of Jesus and who would have been decapitated around 41-44. It is only under Charlemagne and Alphonse II the Chaste (759-842) that his tomb is discovered in Galicia, Spain. Many faithful pay tribute to him on this road. The Via Tolosana from Arles is one of four routes that cross France to the tomb of Santiago. Some houses have the emblem of pilgrims: A shell.

The water of the Craponne canal arrives from Crau lowland thanks to the Roman aqueduct which crosses the roundabout of Pont de Crau and continues towards the Alyscamps. The canal then circulates in Arles to reach the Rhône. This aqueduct, built between 1585 and 1587 and classified as a historic monument, allowed to cross the swamp area present at the entrance to Arles. Part of this aqueduct was demolished during the construction of the road, so the canal goes underground at this level.

Named after the employee responsible for guarding and handling it, the "Langlois Bridge" gained worldwide fame thanks to representations made by Van Gogh at the end of the 19th century. The Van Gogh Bridge today The bridge that can be seen a few kilometers south of the city center, over the Arles-to-Bouc canal, is not, however, the one painted by the artist. It is also not in its original location. Technological progress, changes in town planning and the vagaries of war have meant that today we only see an identical example, once installed in Fos. However, the desire to evoke the painter, as well as to restore an old technique, made it possible to replace the work in its functional integrity, and in a landscaped setting similar to that seen by Van Gogh.

On the edge of the Vaccarès pond nature reserve, the Domaine de Méjanes offers a privileged approach to the Camargue and its traditions, while respecting the environment.

There is also an important private research center on the flora and fauna of the marshes, the biological station of the Tour du Valat.
