A week and a bit in Provence - Part 1




We had booked our gite from the Saturday, so we stayed two nights at the Premiere Classe on an out-of-town shopping centre in Arles. Sounds bad, but great value and close to such delights as the Campanile, where simple French food is always reliably served! On the second day we cycled the very short distance into Arles and saw some of the sights. These include the Roman amphitheatre (where unspeakable things still happen to bulls) and a mass of Provencale restaurants.
There are two indicated trails round the city (Roman & Van Gogh..see next posting). We can add another: the trail round all UK-linked banks looking for an ATM that allowed PIN actions so Bob could sort out the blocked credit card. (Failed!)
