Description

The historical city of Arles is in central southern France along the Rhone River, in the area of Provence. The nearby Camargue delta area near the Mediterranean is considered part of Arles, where wild flamingos, bulls, and horses roam. The prominent landmark in the center of Arles is the Roman Colosseum built in 90 AD, which remains in great condition. Many narrow and pedestrian streets are in historical Arles. Homes are centuries old and full of character. Other landmarks are the Gallo-Roman theater, the Baths of Constantine, the Church of St. Trophime, and the Yellow Van Gogh Cafe where Vincent Van Gogh painted. Vincent Van Gogh lived in Arles from 1888 to 1889 and made over 300 paintings and drawings while living there.

You can read about our adventure in Europe in my husband's book, "Vagabonds in France", by Michael A. Barry. Come with us as we lose our home, put everything in storage, and navigate through Europe for a few months with no return date or home to come back to. Sail across the Atlantic, dodge pickpockets, climb mountains, descend into the Paris Metro, endure nasty weather and illness, witness the flood of the century, and meet some wonderful and not-so-wonderful people. Chuckle with us as we live among the French and try to learn their ways and language. Then make it back home to an empty house we'd never seen before. The book with its 75 illustrations is available in both paperback and Kindle on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCUNSEK .
