arles and avignon and some in between


We started off at the HUGE Arles market. Fruits, veggies, fish, live poultry, flowers galore. It was rather overwhelming, but bright and colorful. We got some olives for our picnic and a lavender plant for the porch. Took a turn through the city. Paid homage to Van Gogh's night cafe, but got coffee down a side street, and overheard a piano practice through an open window.


With some market treats, and baguettes, we headed to Abbaye Montmajour for another picnic, starting to make our way back north.


Stops to walk near the Roman aqueduct and Daudet's windmill near Fontvielle.


Final stop, Avignon on the way...


A stroll through the walled city just before dusk.
