I suppose that somehow I always thought that Arles would be full of gardens like that Van Gogh painting but actually I didn't see any gardens just a few parks. The house he lived in was painted yellow but was destroyed in the war.
The Romans built much of the town and today their huge Arena and antique Theatre are in use for performances and bullfights. The mighty Rhone flows through and there are all the long long boats on the quay waiting to carry the visitors on their trips. They have sun lounge chairs all along the roof area so it must feel very slow and relaxing although they look as if they hold quite a few people.
