Arles

In late May of this year I was able to spend a day in Arles, France.  It was part of a Study Abroad trip, that was so much fun!

Arles has a rich history, and there was this amazing necropolis that is called Alyscamps.  It is amazing to think that I walked where ancient Romans walked!  The city of Arles also has many other things to see, but I'll just show you some pictures instead!




Checking out a tomb, is someone still inside?








Lexi actually got in and laid down in a tomb






The Coliseum was amazing.  I have seen the one in Rome, but I think the one in Arles is better. There is also the amphitheater, the town square, and Saint-Trophîme church.

 Amazing isn't it!

One day was too short, but it was all I had to spend in Arles.  I would love to go back and see the things that I missed!
