Trip to France - Arles (阿尔勒)

I like Arles compared to Marseille. Arles full of historic sites, if you like them like I do. I suggest you spend at least 2 full day at this city. Get a pass monuments, you can visit 9 monuments and museums.

Amphithéâtre(圆形竞技场)- you can visit inside with the pass, but not when the bull fight festival going on.



Théâtre Antique(古代剧场)- occasionally they still performance at this theater, as a remark.




This is how it look like ages before.

Le Cloitre Saint-Trophime(修道院)





Thermes Constantin(浴场)- I guess like a SPA nowadays (I guess only!)


If you a fans of famous artist Van-Gogh(画家梵高), then you might seen this picture before, he drew this picture while he live in this hospital located at Arles.




They were having a bull fight festival while I visited there. This is the poster (left picture). Everything in the city is regarding to that festival, even cake. But I think they (right picture) look like bull pig combination :p
