DESCRIPTION
Arles, France inspires visitors today just as it inspired the great painter, Van Gogh, to call the city home. Tourists to the area like to walk the streets for a spotting tour of the scenes made famous in Van Gogh’s paintings, such as the café in Café de Nuit. It was here in Arles that he had one of the most productive periods of his painting life. If the vistas don’t motivate you, the Roman ruins that are peppered throughout Arles will. The Roman amphitheater is still in use today, despite the fact that it has been there since the Empire ruled the world. The remains of a Roman circus now support the Musee D’Arles, which allows visitors a glimpse into the city’s Roman past.
