🇫🇷 Van Gogh Pilgrimage in Arles / The Ancient Arena

Proof that Van Gogh still fuels French tourism! 🎨✨ From museums housing his masterpieces to the towns where he lived—Arles, Saint-Rémy, Auvers-sur-Oise—countless travelers follow in Van Gogh’s footsteps every year. During his 14 months in Arles, Van Gogh created over 200 works. Some locations still bear traces of his time, though many buildings are long gone. The most picturesque? The hospital garden where he convalesced—now a tranquil oasis of flowers and light. 🌸🌿 But Arles isn’t just about Van Gogh! The Roman Arena (built in the 1st century AD, inspired by Rome’s Colosseum) stands as a majestic relic of the past. Today, it hosts bullfights, concerts, and cultural events—imagine watching a show here under the stars! ✨ Though we missed an event, the vibe alone is worth the visit. Pro tips: ☀️ The seating area gets blazing hot—seek shade under the ancient arches! 🏛️ Climb the towers for panoramic views over Arles—highly recommended! 📸 📍 Arles, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur #FranceTravel #ExploreFrance #Arles #VanGogh #ProvençalVibes #HiddenGems #CulturalTravel
