The Heart of Ancient Gaul

by Tom_Fields - last update: Jan 4, 2009

France's best Roman City

Arles
The Roman province of Gaul, now France, was once very prosperous. The Romans built a city here, complete with baths and a huge amphitheatre. These the still the city's two main features.

This ancient city is also known as the former home of Vincent van Gogh, who spent time at the mental hospital here.
