Hi /trv/, I'm heading to Spain and Southern France for 7 to 10 days in July. I'll be travelling from Madrid to Barcelona, and then on to Southern France. I've never been to Southern France before (only done the Versailles/Paris 3 day tourist blitz), so what is the best use of 3-7 days Southern France?

I'm a big fan of Cathedrals & grand late medieval/early renaissance architecture. and I'll be staying on a relative generous budget of 100-200 euros a day.

For instance, is the market at carpentras worth a visit?

As I've noticed that age/occupation has helped other anons provide advice is other threads, I'm a 23 year old American with limited French language capabilities (reading a train schedule yes, having a compelling conversation no,) who will be traveling alone.

The castle at Foix is pretty epic. I've only been there in winter so I bet the hardwood forests will be beautiful in July.
There's a billion castles in the area of course, that's just the one I happen to have been to.

Toulouse (Saint-Sernin, Jacobins church), Albi, Moissac and Conques are amazing if you like medieval art and architecture.
>>
>>1259839
Oh and if you don't mind going further east (you mention Carpentras), Avignon and Arles are amazing. Any market in summer will be worth a visit, but it will be packed with tons of people.

Where will you be in southern France ? The south-west is very different from the south-east, I live somewhere in between and there are many, many things to see so it would help to know around where you'll be
If south-west then this Anon >>1259913 is right

I recommend Nimes where they have a Roman amphitheater - it's worth a visit.

In Orange (the city) they have a well preserved Roman theater.

And the Pont du Gard near Nîmes is the highest Roman aqueduct still standing
>>
>>1259839
If you have the chance stop in Aix-en-Provence in France. It's like the quieter, nicer, still-pretty offspring of Toulouse and Nice.
>>
>>1260657
Yes, they have. I found the audioguide in Arène de Nimes quite good though - not sure they have that in Arles.

In Arles I recommend to visit the Musée de l'Arles Antique
