Roman ruins....more cats and stunning icecream!!!!
Today we followed in the footsteps of the Romans to the glorious towns of Arles and Tarascon. Arles was the home of Vincent Van Gogh where he painted many well known images. However beofre exploring it was time for coffee and 'elevenesses'!!! Even though it was only 10! The OMG gasp became the norm as around every corner were more treasures and surprises. Lunch was 2 or 3 scoops of the MOST DIVINE icecream. Trevor and I shared. ...banana flambe and nougat were my choices....his rosewater and something i couldn't identify. nd our vista was a 2,000 year old Roman Colossuem as a backdrop. Have we died andgone to heaven????
The compulsory purchase of a beret for our leader...very chic Mr Nottle!! Unfortunately the art lovers in he group missed out on the Van Gogh exhibition due to closure of the museum. Onto Tarascon and the group ventured into a medieval castle on the river. Vertigo was a bit of an issue for those who took on the challenging turrets. With only a few hours here it was obvious Tarascon deserved a return visit.
It was a fabulous day and to end it dinner was at oneof the many town squares in Montpellier. ..amazing seafood. ..AND ...the desserts were to die for. Bed beckoned as we waddled back full to the brim with the food and wine of this beautiful place.
