Culture

The museum’s costume collection includes Arlésienne traditional dress from the 18th century to the present day, including ribbons and lace.
At the southern entrance to the Parc des Poètes, the Allée des Félibres honours seven Félibrige poets: a statue commemorates Frédéric Mistral, while busts represent Joseph Roumanille, Théodore Aubanel, Jean Brunet, Anselme Mathieu, Paul Giéra and Alphonse Tavan.
Under each bust in the Allée des Félibres, QR codes provide information about the respective poets in French, English and Provençal.
The Église Saint-Maxime is a Romanesque church from the 12th century that has been rebuilt several times and is listed in the register of historic monuments.
The shaded garden of the Chapelle de Notre-Dame-du-Pieux-Zèle still contains remains of Palaeochristian sarcophagi. The chapel dates back to the early Romanesque period of the 11th century.
