I had an ice cream break here with my mum and aunt on a brutally hot day in Arles, and it was a…read morereal pleasure. While many ice cream stands dot the town's tourist sites (this place is right behind the Arles Amphitheatre), it's definitely worthwhile to save yourself for an ice cream at La Maison des Gourmands in particular. The ice cream is handmade and there are dozens of flavors, from the traditional to the slightly unusual. Members of my family had salted caramel, lavender, rum raisin, and I had a blend of rose and lemon, finished off with a candied rose petal... it was sublime, and not just because of the weather outside! The owner's also a charming and friendly older gentleman who seems really knowledgable about the area's Roman history and culture in particular, and he also was keen to chat to me about it as a fellow aficionado, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend stopping by here for a "boule" or two when visiting the Arles Amphitheatre.
