Provence...in Detail: Arles

Garden where Van Gogh painted

Roman Arena

More arena pics


Not much to say about Arles. It was kind of a let down. The ancient Roman Theatre and Arena were cool, but I wish we could have seen bullfight. I agree with Van Gogh who painted there for a while. He said something along the lines of "Arles is underwhelming, but enough coffee and wine maks one able to paint here". I kind of think I'm over old Roman towns.

LOL - I loved Arles but was underwhelmed with Aix. On my fb page is a link to my son singing in the colesseum.
