After Marseille, Forcalquier, Avignon, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape (aka Mecca), there were two remaining stops on our Provence road trip; Arles and Cassis.
(By the way, this was The Husband’s first family road trip. Ever. It may take him awhile to recover)
Arles is famous for it’s Roman Arena…
Théâtre Antique…
And this lunatic…
{I hate ears}
It’s a sultry little city with a Spanish vibe (probably due to the bullfights).
And it’s hot as hades (just how I like it).
We walked through the streets, heads down, staring at the ground always on the look out for one of these…
Because it would lead us to one of these…
A sign posting the place where Van Gogh had setup his easel and painted one of his masterpieces.
Unfortunately, at times it was a bit of a let down. Your expecting the beautiful image in the painting but time rolls on and you get this instead…
A boring building. And cars. Bummer.
That’s progress for ya.
bisou
