What to expect

Perched on a rocky peak, the Benedictine abbey of Montmajour offers a sumptuous panoramic viewpoint of the Arles Country. It preciously houses eight centuries of religious history within its buildings blending Romanesque, Gothic, and Classical styles. Your tickets purchased through Ticketeaser, valid at any time of the day, will allow you to contemplate the sculptures of the cloister representing both a fantastical and sacred bestiary, as well as to experience an ineffable spiritual emotion in its chapels and troglodytic necropolis. During the Rencontres de la photographie d'Arles (Photography Encounters of Arles) which take place every summer from July to September, the abbey hosts exhibitions of contemporary artists who, like Van Gogh, cherish this simultaneously grandiose and austere setting.
