    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: Arriving by train eases you gently into the city, with the gare SNCF conveniently located a few blocks to the north of the Arènes.

    Most buses also arrive here at the adjacent Gare Routière (tel 04.90.49.38.01), though some, including all local buses, stop on the north side of Boulevard Georges-Clemenceau just east of rue Gambetta.

    Rue Jean-Jaurès, with its continuation rue Hôtel-de-Ville, is the main axis of old Arles. At the southern end it meets Boulevard Georges-Clemenceau and Boulevard des Lices, with the Tourist Office directly opposite (April–Sept daily 9am–6.45pm; Oct–Nov Mon–Sat 9am–5.45pm, Sun 10.30am–2.30pm; Dec–March Mon–Sat 9am–4.45pm, Sun 10.30am–2.30pm; tel 04.90.18.41.20, www.tourisme.ville-arles.fr);
    there's also an annexe in the gare SNCF (Mon–Sat 9am–1pm & 2–6pm).

    You can rent bikes from Peugeot, 15 rue du Pont, or Europbike, at the newspaper kiosk on Esplanade Charles-de-Gaulle, and cars from Europcar (tel 04.90.93.23.24), Eurorent (tel 04.90.93.50.14) or Hertz (tel 04.90.96.75.23), all on Avenue Victor-Hugo.

     The Cafe Van Gogh in Arles is nice to take a picture or two, but for all means, don't eat there...carrots's salad from a can? One of the worst food in France and Europe...or even my life, really, really bad.

     Your tip sounds suspiciously similar to the one in the Rough Guide to France 2007. Helpful anyway. Ta!

     Are there scheduled bullfights June 23 - 26? If so, is it necessary to buy tickets in advance? Thanks you, Rick L.
