Arles - The Roman Town

 


We had a museum pass while in Arles and were able to tour some of the Roman sites.  Of note is the museum from the late-nineteenth century which used wax figures to portray everyday scenes of Arlean life.  It was a pioneering thought to think that future generations might be interested in the current day.

A change of plans...While in Bengaluru, Joe got sick and we decided that rather than seeking medical attention in Indian, we would change our plane tickets and head to Paris, where we have been able to rent an apartment in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne.  Joe has recovered, but I got sick and have been taking it easy.  So now we begin a French adventure.     

Finishing off France - Les Beaux Villages

 We finished off the French leg of the trip by visiting a number of lovely villages in the areas of France, bordering the Mediterranean and just north of the Spanish border.   Le Canal du Midi Joe beside the canal near where we spend Easter weekend. The castle at Carcassonne

Saint Tropez ... and another Castle

 Driving further west along the mediterranean, we visited the town of Saint Tropez.  This town was famous as a playground of the rich in the 1920s.  It later became a haven for modern artists.
