A day in Arles, Les Baux and Saint-Rémy

You will then see the fabulous image show of the Quarries of Lights, former place of limestone extraction. You will come out with stars full of eyes! Afterwards, we will stop at Moulin Castelas to visit the mill and taste several olive oils, before picnicking under the fig trees, excellent fresh produce from local farms.
