Ibis Hotel Arles

Plan was to stay in Avignon but when we arrived we decided it was too big for us and after driving around the outide of the ramparts of the old city walls - very cool and the main thing we wanted to see - we made our way onwards to Fontaine de Vaucluse which is 20kms past Avignon. We arrived just before dark and found an Aire de Service at the edge of town where settled in for 2 days. The town ...

... the old stone replaced like this. But if it wasn&#8217;t done, there would be nothing left to see! Also, who&#8217;s to say what is &#8216;original&#8217; and what is not after so long a time. For a building as old as this, I believe a few renovations have taken place over the years! <br><br> Just down the street was the Theater Antique, or Classical Theater. A century ...

... the Rhone. Narrow streets hung with lamps and strung with ivy still hold the same charm. All homes decorated with ancient shutters and worn doorways. How could one not want to paint?<br><br> Now I understand, what you tried to say to me <br> And how you suffered for your sanity<br> And how you tried to set them free.<br> They would not listen, they ...

... Beach but the last bus leaves at noon. Since when does any last bus leave at noon?<br><br>We wandered through Avignon, but it is relly stinkin hot and they have a theatre festival going on, and it is not the classy kind. It guys and gals with goofy costumes on making bad jokes, or at least jokes that I can,t understand.<br><br>Even though we have not had that much sucess here ...

... there was a bull fighting event in the collosseum so there were loads of stands inside so not a lot to see but the outside was very impressive (we will attach photos as soon as we can), we thought about stopping to watch but had to crack on with the journey.

... after party. The party goes on there until 5:00am during Les Suds. Booze were cheap and the music was pretty good so it ended up to be a pretty good night. Molly and I talked with a French guy for a while and I was able to confirm the fact that it is easier to speak a foreign language after a couple drinks. Haha. We made it home safely and I went to bed asap because Friday was an excursion day.

... the 4th of July! Instead of hamburgers and hotdogs with chips and apple pie, we ate tibouli, bread with the olive spread, cherries, and cheeses. It was good, but, oh what I would give for good old American bbq. There were other Americans from Arles that joined us, as well as the mayor of Arles. We took some photos, sang some oldies, and drank a little wine to celebrate. The wine might have been a bad idea because I basically slept through ...

We usually camped at the same location for 3 weeks, but my parents would use the car to explore every attraction in the area. This is the first trip I can remember in my life: I was 4. My parents had bought a caravan after realizing that being cooped up with a 2 year old in a hotel at the lake of Geneve in Switzerland was little fun for either my parents or ...
