We’re staying with three children ages 14, 11 and 9 in central Arles 7 nights in mid to late June. Airbnb has small pool, so hopefully a respite from the sightseeing.

We want to explore in town and maybe take 1-2 day trips. Is a day trip or one short overnight to the Camargue worth it? Saintes-Maries-de-la-mer has a festival that weekend. Worthwhile or avoid? Or Aigues Mortes?

How bad will the tourist crowds be? We’re already avoiding places like Les Baux which sound overrun.

We weren’t planning to rent a car but could we greatly benefit, being able to visit less crowded places? Or am I trying too hard to avoid fellow tourists?
