On the cusp of the Camargue National Park in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, Arles is a heady blast of Van Gogh nostalgia – the artist painted in excess of 200 works around this lovely Roman town.

The twisting aluminium tower designed by Frank Gehry brings the city’s architecture bang up to date.
