I’m slowly making my way through the trip photos. Click here for all the photos from Arles.
Arles is in ancient city in Provence. We arrived here on the evening of July 12, and stayed in a
neat hotel wedged between the Roman coliseum and amphitheater. Our
windows overlooked the amphitheater, so we had a free front row seat of
concerts on Bastille Day eve. The hotel
also had a free indoor spa pool overlooking the coliseum, which was a wonderful
way to end the day (no kids allowed, poor Lily).
The town is less touristy than others, and kind of rough around the
edges, but it had a nice feel to it.
Very artsy and edgy – lots of interesting street posters and art. It was the home of Van Gogh during his most
productive period (and where he cut his ear off), and the Gypsy Kings are from Arles.
We stayed here for 3 nights, and were lucky enough to be
there for the huge Saturday market. I
went a little nuts with the market photos.
