A trip to Arles

We got up reasonably early this morning and drove to Arles.  We managed to get parked more easily than yesterday and so started our exploring.

Our fist visit was the Arena, which has been extensively developed and rebuilt over the years, so is still rather impressive.

After a quick lunch from a supermarket we did a bit more of the walking tour around the City, visiting the old Roman baths, then the Eglise St Trophine.  Next we visited the old Roman theatre but couldn't visit Arladen museum as it is closed for refurbishment.

We drove back to the hotel in Sommieres and spent a few hours resting by the pool, swimming, reading and drinking beer.

In the evening we had dinner at Les Korrigans du Vidourle, a Brittany-themes Creperie.  I had a crepe with andouille and cooked onions - the closest I've got yet to an Andouilette on his holiday!  We finished the evening with a drink at a bar on the riverside in Sommieres.
