Van Gogh's air everywhere | Langlois Bridge, Arles, July 2002 |
It's very difficult to go to Arles and to not breathe the Van Gogh's air. In this region Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) spent the two last years of his life, painting masterpieces that made the story of the art.
This is the Langlois's Bridge, quite far from the centre of the city, with a plate that remembers us his painting of the march 1888. |

...but also great buildings... Arles is quite famous also for its buildings in romanic and provencal style, like the Eglise-St-Trophime or the Arena...
It is crossed by the Rhone and here it starts the region of the Camargue, a naturalistic regional park really amazing. |
