Les Arnelles

Just a few kilometres from Arles on the edge of the Grey Heron Marsh, the 17 rooms of Les Arnelles evoke the angular beauty of a Katharine Hepburn. They proudly wear a sublime face without make-up. Bare wood sets off the delicacy of its texture, but also a strong character marked by the years. They are unpretentious and comfortable, and each has its own terrace. At Les Arnelles, they don't think much of squash and trendy saunas; here they hike, ride horses and cycle. Finally, the large pool blends into the moor, symbolising the spirit of the place: a bridge to nature.
