France Travel Diary: Arles Chapter 🇫🇷✨

🏨 Accommodation: Ibis Budget Arles Palais des Congrès ✓ Clean & modern rooms | ✗ Far from town center (limited shops/restaurants nearby) ✓ Pool available | ✗ Hairdryer on request only Tip: Better for road-trippers than walkers! Itinerary Day 1️⃣: 🚄 Paris → Arles Arrived by train, checked into the hotel, and rested up for art adventures! Day 2️⃣: Van Gogh Pilgrimage 🎨 ➡️ Van Gogh’s Asylum (L’Espace Van Gogh) – Walked the same garden he painted. ➡️ Café Terrace at Night – Closed now, but the iconic yellow façade remains. ➡️ Roman Arena – Climbed ancient steps where gladiators once fought. ➡️ Fondation Van Gogh – Saw his lesser-known works + rooftop views! ➡️ Trinquetaille Bridge Stairs – Spot from The Langlois Bridge paintings. ➡️ The Yellow House Site – Just a plaque now, but emotional for fans. Day 3️⃣: 🚄 Arles → Cannes Said goodbye to Arles’ sunflowers and hello to the French Riviera! Key Takeaways: Arles is small but mighty—pack comfy shoes for cobblestones. Van Gogh’s spirit lingers in every corner (bring tissues 😭). Train travel tip: Book window seats for Provençal countryside views! #VanGoghsArles #ArtisticEscape #HiddenProvence
