This medieval monastery, founded in the leafy countryside 6km (3.5 miles) northeast of Arles during the 10th century, is now an innovative exhibition venue. Temporary shows, ranging from a Christian Lacroix installation to annual photographic displays as part of Les Recontres d’Arles, which in 2023 included a 50-year retrospective of artsy newspaper Libération, are dotted throughout the atmospheric ruins. A wonderful outdoor restaurant, serviced by a food truck (dishes around (10€) is tucked under the trees.
