[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 13013318, member: 16283"]Arles was our base too-a beautiful little city (we met some quite friendly locals) . The arena and archaeology museum are impressive. This is one of the sites in town that I personally found quite striking- "The Cryptoporticus of Arles- is a 1st-century BC underground Roman double-gallery built around 30–20 BC to level the sloping ground and support the city's forum. Located beneath the Arles City Hall, this UNESCO World Heritage site features U-shaped vaulted corridors open for public exploration." My Wife and I were alone in the space and it was quite haunting, one of those places where you can really feel the past. The Cryptoporticus is under the City Hall but also very close to where Van Gogh painted 'Cafe Terrace at Night'- the cafe is still there. First pic's the cafe.
