An afternoon at the forum

Place du Forum, of course.  This ancient ruin isn't much more than a couple of columns, affixed to a more modern building, but the square it graces is a popular spot.


The ancient columns

The top of a column, and detail above it

The center of the square is filled with outdoor tables for the many restaurants that line the square.  We go their for cafe in the afternoon sometimes, on the end of the Place opposite the columns.

The yellow awning marks the Cafe du Nuit (the night cafe) painted by Van Gogh

Just across from the colums

The far end of the Place

I wonder what the Place was like during Roman times.
