ARLES AMPHITHEATRE
A well-preserved Roman structure built in the 1st century AD, it could hold up to 21,000 spectators for gladiatorial contests, simulated hunts, and other events. After the fall of the Roman Empire, it was transformed into a fortress and later a small town, before being restored to its original function.
LUMA
Both a place of production and experimentation for artists and the public, LUMA Arles hosts annual exhibitions of major artists and works by leading figures in contemporary creation. Archives of artists, photographers, and exhibitions are accessible in conditions worthy of the greatest international institutions.
FONDATION VINCENT VAN GOGH
The foundation aims to promote understanding and appreciation of van Gogh's life and artistic vision, as well as to support contemporary artists whose work is inspired by or resonates with van Gogh's oeuvre.
CARRIÈRES DES LUMIÈRES
Carrières des Lumières is a unique multimedia art center in Les Baux-de-Provence, France, that presents immersive exhibitions within a former stone quarry. Visitors are surrounded by projected images of famous artworks, accompanied by music, creating a 360-degree experience.
FAQs
Are you registered anywhere?
We’re not doing a traditional registry—your presence truly means the most to us! If you’d like to give something, we’ll have a little box at the wedding for cards or contributions.
What's the dress code?
Wedding: Cocktail attire. Ladies, we recommend wedges or block heels over stilettos—there will be grass and gravel underfoot!
Brunch: Bring your swimsuit and something comfortable to throw on. Think relaxed, festive, and sun-friendly.
Can we bring our kids?
We love your little ones, but we're keeping the celebration adults-only. We hope you’ll enjoy a well-deserved night off! Please note that babysitting will not be available on-site.
