Les Monument' Arles

They were great artists, those who cut the stones of the arena, carved the sarcophagi of the Alyscamps, drew the vaults of our churches and imagined the figures of our cloister. So what better way to pay them tribute than to bring live performance within these walls rich in history and humanity?

The monuments that shape our everyday lives, that have helped make Arles a capital of culture, are set to reveal themselves to us in a new light, brimming with life, music and discovery, thanks to local and regional companies and artists. Music, dance, shadow theatre, comedy and a thousand other artistic interventions will allow many artists to express their talents in our remarkable and inspiring heritage sites. Everyone is invited to discover this exceptional programme, to live it and to pay tribute to all the artists who, for more than 2,000 years, have invented our landscape and made every Arlésien the heir to a living heritage.
