Abbaye de Montmajour
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.
