September 2, 2022,Stadtrundgang in Arles

Continue on Roman tracks; a little voyage of discovery in Arles. Small, a bit morbid, but fine!

Roman highlights are the theatre, the arena and the cryptoportico. We also sniffed a bit at the contemporary art at Museum Reattu.

At the end then a few fine eclairs to strengthen.
