 Roman statue by Lady_Mystique
~What I particularly liked was the floor of ancient mosaics that one could see from a circular, encompassing walkway above the work. It was still being reassembled when I was there.
~The artifacts in the museum are truly amazing and very educational. It helps remind you that Arles existed long before Vincent Van Gogh came to live there. It shows a richness that was in its culture, and in the arts, before Van Gogh made this area famous.

 Saint-Trophime by Lady_Mystique
~ This Romanesque cathedral, built in the III C. and rebuilt in the XII and XIV C. is famous for its sculptures and its imposing facade depicting the Last Judgement.
~ If you are so inclined, or lucky in your timing, you might be able to catch a mass in progress. I found the hymns being sung very beautiful!
~ The Cloister has carved vaults, pillars, Roman capitals of the XII C. and the tombstone of Geoffrey Ist. Personally, I found the tapestries illustrating the various episodes of the life of King Barberousse absolutely gorgeous!!

 Arles Amphitheatre & Admission
Ticket by Lady_Mystique
~ Today the crowds come mainly for the bull-fighting. When not in use though, you can come and explore the labyrinth maze of corridors. As I walked through these dark coirridors I swear I felt and heard the people and animals that used to come through here. It's history felt so alive to me!
~ One of the most enjoyable aspects of this amphitheatre is that after you've climbed to the upper level you have a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape of Provence and the charming, terra-cotta-colored rooftops of Arles!

 The Arena by Van Gogh by Lady_Mystique
" ... A propos, j'ai vu des combats de taureaux dans les arènes, ou plutôt des simulacres de combats, vu que les taureaux étaient nombreux, mais que personne ne les combattait. Seulement la foule était magnifique, les grandes foules bariolées, superposées à deux ou trois étages de gradins avec l'effet de soleil et d'ombre de l'immense cercle ..."
It was not the fights at the arena that attracted van Gogh but it's magnificance; it's multi-layered effect of people; and, the effect of the sun on this immense circle. Leave a Comment

Jardin d'Ete on Boulevard des Lices was Van Gogh's inspiration for his painting "Entrance to the Public Garden in Arles " and is part of the Van Gogh walking tour you can get at the tourist information center on Blvd. des Lices.
I took this picture in the late afternoon near the end of Sept. '03. I liked the shadows on this sculpture as it made her almost come alive.
That is the south wall of the Antique Theater behind her. Leave a Comment Address: Blvd des Lices in the old city.Directions: Walk south from the Arena past Hotel Calendal to the end, which is Jardin d'Ete. It is on the south side of the Roman Theatre Antique wall, bordered by Blvd des Lices, rue Jean Jaures and Monte Vauban.Website: http://int.tourisme.ville-arles.fr/UK/a4/a4.htm
