Provence Day 2

The whole group jumping in the triumphal arch at Glanum
We began the day in Arles, where we visited the Baths of Constantine, followed by a quick ice cream stop by the famous “Yellow House” where Van Gogh stayed, then on to the Roman Theatre, where we put on our very own (and very true to the original) performance of Euripides’ “The Bacchae”.

We had lunch in Arles before moving to Saint-Rémy de Provence, where we went on a Van Gogh walking tour, and finishing off by visiting “Les Antiques”, the Mausoleum & triumphal arch outside Glanum.

Then it was back to the hotel for a swim, dinner and followed up with our quiz!

We did very well to cope in the 36 degree heat and are ready to tackle Uzes tomorrow.
