Arles
Wow talk about a culture shock. After spending two months in the UK and Ireland, the south of France is a whole other world. After sleeping (for about an hour) in the corner of an airport (we had to be there for 4:30am so we just hung out), flying to ...
More Roman French style
... three quarter across bridge. Why? Well, the last quarter had been washed away in a flood and never replaces. As we were in France, we hit a hypermarket, bought loads of wine and cheese, and as it was cold, brass monkey material actually, so we decided to ...

Coco Chanel was some woman
Weds March 11th Today was market day in St Remy de Provence and you could almost describe the town centre as busy. The market takes over many of the streets but significantly two major car parks. Not to be daunted by this (or possibly walking further) ...

Le Baux, Pont du Gard France
9/20-21/2011 Rich Today we rented a car because we have a lot to see and it would be more difficult by train and bus. Our car is a tiny Renault Twingo with a stick. I have not driven a stick in years and we have to get assistance to find ...

What do you do when you are 10 000 miles from home and the sky is grey with rain-shower clouds? Well it is France. When it is cold and wet, you get hungry. The French do food like no one else. The answer is simple then …. you eat. If it’s not ...

Arles and Avignon

Day 12 - Arles
... while he was alive. Can that be? No wonder he was so depressed. The unhappy ear-cutting incident occurred in Arles. Many artists are attracted to Provence by the particular lighting. For some reason the sunlight, perhaps due to the angle and ...
Ooo la la, c'est magnifique
... At Jeanine's suggestion, our next stop was Arles in Provence, which is where I am now. An old Roman town, Arles feels lik a cross between France, what I imagine Italy to be like, and California, with its laid back sunnines. Today we will visit some of ...

In Van Gogh's footsteps
... as well. We caught the train just in time as we had to make a mad dash through the station to make it! We found our hotel in Arles very easily. The old town area isn't big, so it is easy to find your way around. Our hotel is very old, the owner told ...

Mistral, the Wind of Death

Van Gogh and De Niro
... Other than that our visit was pretty nice...the city itself is cool, though not much unlike most other cities in Southern France. I should mention that while I write this there are 2 Van Gogh paintings hanging on the wall above my monitor...Cafe la Nuit ...
Searching for Van Gogh's Ear
... Arles (probably the best ten euro we've spent on the trip thus far) that was given by an American woman from Maine. She came to France in 1969, met her husband, and has been here ever since. I wish I would have asked if a month would have been enough ...

Great hostel, charming town, tasty market
... the 9:45 train after a super long ticket line. As if that wasn't enough stress so early in the morning, I almost didn't get off in Arles because the train arrived early and I didn't think that was my stop yet. Once in the station, there was a line at that ...
