Provence 2: Avignon to Arles

...Onto the beautiful countryside of Vaucluse, the walled town of Avignon...


The mighty walls of Pont du Gard...


The strange stone buildings of Les Baux du Provence, indistinguishable from the surrounding moon-like landscape...



Past vineyards...

lonely Roman ruins through olive groves...

And majestic churches and abbeys seen from miles away.


Arles, a sleepy little town containing treasures from the Romans who once made a mighty city out of this Ligurian, Gallic, and later Phonecian trading port.
