Last day in the south

With any luck, we will be taking the train to Paris tomorrow.  We have asked several people if there is any possibility of a train strike tomorrow, but they don't know. I guess we won't know for sure until we are on the train.

At any rate, today we did our last bit of sight seeing in Arles.  We shopped at the great Saturday market, then this afternoon visited the Musee Reattu.  It is housed in a restored 15th century building that was the Grand Priory of the Knights of Malta.

Their collection features 2 paintings and 57 sketches by Picasso.  As the Picasso Museum in Paris is still closed for renovations, this is probably the biggest collection of Picasso works we will be able to see on our visit to France.  The sketches consisted of several, really quite charming, thematic progressions.

The building was guarded by some great gargoyls.
