Nord Pinus 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 ...

Thus triggering the descent into insanity. <br> <br> Starry, starry night, <br> Flaming flowers that brightly play.<br> Swirling clouds and violet haze.<br> Reflecting in Vincent&#8217;s eyes of China blue. <br><br>I was so ...

... came down near us but we were lucky and just got debris on us. But enough whining about the weather.<br>Avignon is extremely beautiful and we have a lovely view at night of all the castle etc all lit up as we are camped on a sort of island in the Rhone. We arrived yesterday and explored the town and went to the Popes palace which is the best preserved castle of its age in France. We then ...

... of our trip, and he was willing to give us a tour of his research facilities and the area. The Camargue serves as a migration staging area and wintering area for many migratory birds in Europe. Most people are interested in the Flamingos that live there year round. We saw a number of them and visited their nesting colony. We saw some ducks and geese but most had already moved north to their breeding ...

... of the many Roman and Medieval sites Arles is home to. All that AND Vincent Van Gogh! He arrived here in 1888 and went on to paint most of his classics here including, Café Terrace at Night, Starry night over the Rhone, and Courtyard of the hospital at Arles. It is pretty neat to visit the actual sites of these works and see what he saw. Talk about art and culture, Arles just oozes it. The food isn't too bad either. We of course had to have ...

... fact that we cant makes me feel like I'm being graded on my level of vocabulary and not my ability to translate ideas from French to English. The IES staff was trying to reassure me that my grades would be fine because on the French grading scale, 9 is about a B-. I was aggravated so Meredith told me we should get away from the center and shop for souvenirs. I came home and did a ...

June 16th, 2007 Breakfast at the hotel was the same, croissant, bread, cherries, etc. Every Saturday Arles has a huge street market. Tons of little tents are set up with clothes, spices, fruits and veggies, soap, and fabric. It was really cute. Everything was pretty inexpensive. Mary, Molly and I walked around the market. We were heading to the Alpilles later and were told to bring suits so I needed a beach towel. I found one for 5 euros ...
