Objects valued in Arles and sold in Paris

Selling a sculpture or painting at the Hôtel Drouot in Paris offers many advantages, even if you live in Arles or the surrounding communes. A former Roman colony, Arles has preserved an exceptional monumental heritage, with its amphitheatre, ancient theater and thermal baths, listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.

A city of art and history, it also owes its fame to Vincent van Gogh, who produced some of his most famous paintings here, and to the contemporary dynamism of its Rencontres de la photographie. Situated between the Camargue and Provence, close to Nîmes, Avignon and Marseille, Arles benefits from a privileged geographical position and good road and rail links, facilitating the transport of works to Paris.

Despite the geographical distance, collaboration with various transporters and our local teams guarantees reasonable selling costs. You benefit from Drouot's renown in showcasing your work and attracting collectors from all over the world, while minimizing logistical costs.

This prestigious platform for the exchange and circulation of the European art market offers incomparable visibility for your objects, opening the doors to new opportunities for your possessions, wherever you live.

The art market in Arles

Our auctioneers and experts come on site, in the Bouches du Rhône, in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, Arles and Saint-Rémy, to appraise your works and advise you. If you need an auctioneer to carry out an inventory, Auctie's can also help you in the best possible way, by appointment.
