Monday Moods: I feel... ruined.

This morning has been full of exploring

the ancient Roman ruins in Arles.

We have climbed the steps of the ampi-theatre

that used to host gladiators & wild beasts

and today is the meeting place of bulls & matadors....

We have sang on the stage

that once welcomed ancient performers

and today hosts famous celebrities....

And now?

I'm taking another cue from the Romans

and am headed into to take a hot bath.

If you are visiting Arles,

you can visit both the ampi-theatre & theatre for €5...

plus, you are surrounded by French restaurants.

Nothing about that combination can ruin your day!

*If you visit during the warmer months, 

you'll have a good chance of seeing a bull-fighting event in the stadium

(a favorite sport of Arlesiennes)

or catch a performance or classic movie in the theatre.
