Hotel Jules César (France)

Hotel Jules César is located in the heart of the Roman town of Arles, an ancient city where Van Gogh had his most prolific period ever. Arles is encircled by some of the most amazing scenery in Provence, including the Camargue, the vast wilderness where wild white horses gallop freely across wide horizons. Roman archaeology litters the city - most famously, the stunning amphitheatre which still acts as a bullring today. And between the ruins, are narrow, medieval streets, historic churches and shady terraces that date back forever. Where better then, to feel the weight of history than in a 17th-century convent in the heart of the old town, now a luxury hotel. Hotel Jules César is close to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Alyscamps, Arles' famous Roman Arena and the Roman theatre.

Services
Le Jules César offers 21st-century facilities in this former 17th-century convent. The nun's cells have been turned into large, indulgent bedrooms. The cloistered galleries now house the Restaurant Lou Marques offering Provençal cooking that knows no moderation while the lavender gardens, where monastic peace still prevails, envelop a heated swimming pool.
Location: Hotel Jules Cesar is located in the centre of Arles, close to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Alyscamps, the Roman theatre, the amphitheatre and the Thermal Baths of Constantine. The Van Gogh walking tour is a fascinating walk taking in the sites painted by Van Gogh throughout Arles, while the church and cloisters of St Trophine are well worth a visit. Arles is the gateway to the Camargue, a nature park rich in salt marshes and well known for its white horses, black bulls and pink flamingos. The beach resort and gypsy festival town of Saintes Maries de la Mer is just 35 kilometres from Hotel Jules Cesar.
