Nice and quiet place. No toilets. Amazing that how big that bath was.

Least impressive of all the wonderful sites in Arles. There isn’t really much too see, and what there is has been rebuilt/modified - so it’s not particularly authentic. There’s a couple of information boards giving descriptions of how the baths would have looked/been. But in my honest opinion, if this ‘site’ hadn’t been included in my City Pass and I’d paid to visit, I would have been bitterly disappointed! Don’t waste your money or your time - not unless you fancy reading a couple of notice boards to kill some time.

Wonderful example of a Roman Thermal bath. Only part remains, but what exists displays the size of the vaulted ceilings. Note, too, the alternating use of brick and cement to construct the walls and vaults. Be sure to look at the "hypocaust", or heat vents, which channeled heat from fires to heat the pools. One of the best examples I have seen in my travels.
