- The city that attacts painters is itself a work of art.

- Intoxicated by the bright Provencal sun, Van Gogh chose exaggerated colors to intensify emotional responses to the wheat fields, olive groves, cypresses and purple irises he painted. But his deteriorating mental status darkened his presence and left shadowy reminders in the places he visited and the asylum where he stayed.

- Beloved of visitors as varied as Julius Caesar and Vincent Van Gogh, Arles wears its historic heart on its sleeve more than any other place I’ve been, incorporating its Roman and medieval past into its living, breathing present.

- We spent two weeks exploring France. We made stops in many cities. You can read about them my other journals. Arles was one of our favorites. During our two days in Arles we were able to see some great sights, and also relax and stroll along the Rhone River.

- Arles was a town I had wanted to go to since before my first trip to Europe, to see the Roman Arena. Finally, I got there on my next trip to France, and found much more than I had expected.

- Arles is a painter's town. Why? Because it's rich and vibrant, with lots of colour. It’s the dazzling sun, the sapphire blue skies, the dappled trunks of centuries-old plane trees, the canary-yellow shutters, and the cobalt blue doors. This is what illuminates a painter's imagination!!

- We were on our way back to Avignon, Paris and home after some good walking and stopped at Arles for a night. It is a wonderful town for a short break - preferably two or three nights.

- The tranquil night is pierced by the jubilant singing of a group of teens. They have formed a rhumba line as they dance past the Roman Arena singing "White Guy." Crazy Americans! We join in ... 'he's getting a tatoo...
