Doesn't everyone who comes to Provence, want to find the real Provence?

Tarascon is an old place with narrow cobbled streets, shaded walkways, a castle, a legendary monster and has been immortalised in a series of novels by Alfonse Daudet.

It is also well connected with trains to/from Avignon, Nimes, Arles, Marseille, Narbonne and Portbou in Spain.

Highlights

Station stroll ideas

If you have an hour or two to spare waiting for a train, why not go for a wander?

I've also made a downloadable PDF and accompanying google map which will give you a feel for the place and take in the sights.

Guided tours

Nope.

Luggage

If you want to stroll without a care in the world, including your luggage, you could try using Bounce to find a place that will take your bags.

Getting there

Tarascon is in between Avignon and Arles taking around 15 mins and 8 mins respectively.
