 Café Van Gogh at Night by Lady_Mystique
A century later tourists still flock to sit where Van Gogh sat, drank and painted. And I was no different.
*An interesting side note:
Van Gogh had gas lights installed in the kitchen and studio of his Yellow House the same September–leaks which, according to medical speculation, contributed to his epileptic fits that began the following month.

 Big kiss, Madame by davequ
Almost no one in here speaks a word of english, but that is a non-issue. Everyone is friendly and helpful to anyone armed with minimal, polite French.
Wine and liquor are served, but "Bar Tabac" is for beers and cigars/cigarettes.
This kind woman owns & runs the bar-tabac, and will make your stop worthwhile.
The "regulars" of Bar Tabac roll on the floor laughing at my terrible french, then buy me a beer and tutor me with much good humor. The lady/proprietor in the photo @ left presides and keeps good order.
When I ask for cigars she does not like, she gives them to me, then forces better ones of her recommendation on me.
I tell her "Non, merci madame " yet she pushes them on me and rings them up anyway, and damned if she isn't right every time.
Arles is not a nightlife hotspot, but if you want to meet and feel the real Provence french, stop in here for a bierre.
This place is the Provence answer to "Archie Bunker's Place." Dress up at your peril.
If you come trootsying in sporting an elitist, "hey, look at my life" attitude, wearing your Paris fashion pumps and order your usual "plastic" mojito, it is possible you will be cheerfully beaten to a pulp (and I will help..)

This is a shot from the bottom of the stairs in the Jardin D'Ete on Blvd Lices, which walk up to the street past all restaurants to my hotel and eventually the Roman arena.

 Vincent's Evening Cafe and
today's by davequ
It also contains the site where Van Gogh sat and painted some of his best art.
You can relax with a pastis in the exact location Van Gogh sat, with a large reproduction his painting (e.g. Arles Forum "Cafe Terrace Evening") sitting right next to you -
sounds touristy, but if you are (like me) a huge Vince fan and "in the right mood" ( heh-heh ) - it will do the job on your head.
Photo at top-right is a "merge" of the painting and a quick snap I took with my cheap 2001 digital camera.
There are lots of little cafes with outdoor seating in the forum for coffee & people watching.
Combined with the great Provence weather (provided the Mistral is not blowing)
this is one of my favorite "hangout" spots in all of France.
I don't personally recommend you eat dinner on the forum, but the atmosphere for cafe or drinks is excellent, as is the living history.
This is a great place to chill out with a pastis, carafe of vin rouge or a cafe and just "hang." Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: Place du Forum is the very center of the old cityDirections: The Place du Forum in the middle of "old" Arles - MAPWebsite: www.provenceweb.fr
