Here is Susan's report on Arles.
After Spain, we were off to France to a small town in Provence - Arles. It was a nice
change of pace going from a bustling city to a small town. Even though there were many
tourists during the day, it was incredibly quiet at night.
We stayed in a hotel close to the Arena and Ampitheatre, both of which were pretty
structures. We wondered around the city by foot, everything was a lot closer than it
appeared on the map. We walked along the harbourfront, which runs along the Rhone. Then
we wondered around town and visted a church, a cloister, and a cryptoportico.
Cryptoportico is an underground gallery, located under the Place du Forum. We also went
to the cemetery where we saw a monument for soldiers who died in the first
World War.
The food in Arles was wonderful, but pricey. While in Arles, Gray noticed
a Michelin star restaurant in which he promptly looked up. Unfortunately, we didn't go
to that one, but we ended up going to another Michelin star restaurant Cilantro. The meal
was HUGE. We thought we were getting a four-course meal with cheese and dessert but it
seemed like it was a 10 course meal with cheese and dessert. We were stuffed.
