After spending some time at Musee Granet in Aix , droppped by Les Deux Garcons (where Cezanne hung out) on Le Cours Mirabeau for a last cappucino before heading northwest to Arles.First a stop in Les Baux-de-Provence, remains of an ancient castle, Chateau des Baux, built in the 10th century and one of the most visited sites in all of France.
In Arles, the Ampitheatre with a capacity 20,000 is the 2nd oldest Roman amphitheatre in the world (oldest is in Pompeii) and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Then it was used for chariot racing and bloody hand-to-hand batttles, now bull fighting, plays and concerts.
Ended up at Le Cafe La Nuit where Van Gogh painted his second most famous painting, Cafe Terrace at Night (1888) on the Place du Forum (his most famous is Starry Night).
