Thirty kilometers south of Avignon is Arles. Before getting to the city, take a quick break in St. Remy to check out St.
Paul Asylum. This is where Vincent van Gogh decided to stay after suffering from attacks of mental illness. The great
artist painted the fields, olive trees, and gardens he could see through his window. He painted dozens of great works
while staying at the asylum. In Arles, you will be amazed by the city’s wonderful Roman architecture. The old part of
Arles resembles a living museum. One place worth visiting is Arles Arena. Two thousand years ago, people came to the
arena to watch gladiators battle wild animals.
