Skip the Line Ticket: Roman Abbey of Montmajour

Visit: Abbaye de Montmajour, D17, route de Fontvieille, 13200, Arles France

Make your own way to the Roman Abbey of Montmajour in Provence and use your pre-paid ticket to skip the line and enjoy priority access. Once inside, set out on a self-guided tour and spend as long as you like exploring the magnificent abbey.
The Abbey buildings, including the chapter house, the refectory, the pantry, the library and the kitchen, can be reached by way of the cloister, restored in 1872. Visitors can admire the remarkable representations of imaginary animals, human figures and vegetation below the columns' capitals, and admire the Saint-Pierre Hermitage, dating back to the 10th and 11th century (interior closed to visitors for safety reasons).
The Abbey has been a source of inspiration for many modern and contemporary artworks. Van Gogh (1853-1890) was one of the artists fascinated by Montmajour and Alain Krill's 'Ascension' in the abbey choir is a homage to his use of thick layers of colour.
Finally, climbing to the top of the Pons de l'Orme Tower affords an impressive panoramic view of Arles, Tarascon, the plain of La Crau, and the Alpilles Mountains.
