Arrival and information

|
|
Arriving by train eases you gently into the city, with the
gare SNCF
conveniently located a few blocks to the north of the ArA?nes. Most buses also arrive here at the adjacent
gare routiA?re
(tel 04.90.49.38.01), though some, including all local buses, stop on the north side of boulevard Georges-Clemenceau just east of rue Gambetta. Rue Jean-JaurA?s, with its continuation rue HA?tel-de-Ville, is the main axis of old Arles. At the southern end it meets boulevard Georges-Clemenceau and boulevard des Lices, with the
tourist office
directly opposite (Mon-Sat 9am-7pm, Sun 2-6pm; tel 04.90.18.41.20,
www.arles.org
); there's also an annexe in the
gare SNCF
(Mon-Sat 9am-1pm & 2-6pm)
.
You can rent
bikes
from Peugeot, 15 rue du Pont, or Europbike, at the newspaper kiosk on esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle, and
