The Golden Hour Over Rhone River runs through Arles, France on the Eastern side of the city

A stunning golden hour view of Avignon, France, with the historic Pont Saint-Bénézet and the iconic Papal Palace glowing in the evening sunlight. Contrails streak across the clear sky, and the tranquil Rhône River reflects the ancient city walls and warm hues of sunset. This image beautifully captures the timeless charm and history of Avignon.

This is a city in the Provence region of southern France, which lies along the Rhône River. There are numerous paintings by Van Gogh who were inspired by this place, and the art displayed at Fondation Vincent Van Gogh is also heavily influenced by his paintings. Originally the provincial capital of ancient Rome, Arles is also known for many remnants from that era, such as the Arles Amphitheater (Les Arènes d'Arles), which is where plays, concerts and bullfights are held today.
