Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good walking shoes for the old stone streets of Arles. Light clothing for the hot sun of the summer and early fall; protective clothing for the windy Mistral of winter and early spring.
Photo Equipment: If (unlike me) you are a serious photographer, bring your best 35mm and tripod with filters and lenses for the beauty of the Provence.
Miscellaneous: Rent a car or motorcycle and drive to Les Baux, St. Remy, north and around into wine country (Chateauneuf du Pape, Rasteau), just go, go, GO!
