It was fortunate that we had a free day in Arles as today all attractions in France are free entry and Arles has plenty. We visited the Roman arena which was a huge structure that was rescued from urbanisation and is once again used for events such as bull fighting. It was a magnificent building with a great view over the nearby Rhone river.
We also visited the Reattau Museum which had a great collection including drawing and paintings by Picasso, lots of great photographs and heaps more. It was all housed in a very atmospheric building that was once the main Priory for the Knights of Malta.

We also visited the Roman baths and theatre as well as the Cloisters all of which were elegantly restored. After lunch we visited the Museum of Antiquities which has a great display including a 2000 year old boat they had recovered from the Rhone river.
