Hotel Saint Trophime Arles

... over 1.5 million tourists each year as it is the source of a natural spring. It's wierd seeing a fast flowing river and then walking 50 metres "upstream" and there only being a trickle.. and then a bit further and no water... nothing but a big cliff straight up! <br><br>The town itself is nestled in a valley and is particularly pretty at dusk when rocks take on the colours of the sunset ...

... and Rhone. Built in 90 AD it&#8217;s hard to imagine all the events that have taken place in this building. Walking around and around, I tried to imagine it filled with 20 000 screaming fans as gladiators ripped apart animals, but it was hard. From Medieval times to the 1830&#8217;s, it was bricked up and used as a fortified city. 212 housed and 2 churches made their home ...

Starry, starry, night. <br> Paint your palette blue and grey. <br> Look out on a summer&#8217;s day,<br> With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.<br><br>Arrived in picturesque provencal France - immortalized by the many artist&#8217;s who have lived here over the years capturing the soft light, countryside and charming towns. Arles is our destination ...

We had a late start as Deanna finally succombed to her sore ear and went to the local doctor. A great decision as her ear was infected and the medicines will allow her time to recover before flying on Sunday. It also meant we finally managed to get to the local Boulangerie and ...

Back to the South of France, we were fortunate enough to stay at the summer house of one of Chantal's friends near Arles. It gave us somewhere to relax for a while, and for Fraser a day of not driving! During the day we went to Les Stes-Maries de la Mer, a coastal resort, to ...

... dessert and we went out to the Pub. It wasn't too busy there so we enjoyed a nice night outside. Andrew Brenner came by a couple times and he kept telling us he wanted to find some food. We saw him running, yes, running towards the pizza place and then carried what looked like an extra large pizza away for himself. Strange man. Haha. We left the pub and set a meeting time of 10:00am at the bus station to go the beach for one last tan.

... on my butt. Perfect. I woke up to get ready for dinner at Cuisine de Comptoir with George, Elisabeth, Ginger, and Kristin. I had my same dish as usual but George's dish looked interesting so maybe next time...After dinner we went to the Hotel Cheval Blanc for an Aperatif, basically a little "pre-party" with food and drinks before the concert. They were eating hotdogs on baguettes when we ...

... cream. After dinner a bunch of us went out to the Irish Pub on La Rue Georges Clemenceau. It costs 5 euros for a beer which is about 7 dollars so needless to say, no one drank all that much. But apparently the Irish Pub is a great place to go in Arles. We had to be back at the hotel by midnight because the front doors lock. So we walked back and just went to bed. It was another really long day but all in all, a great day.
