O'er the ramparts

As we bid adieu to Arles, I headed out to photograph part of the ramparts that surround the old Roman city.  These amazing walls rise out of rock strata.

The closest rampart wall to our apartment is at the SE corner of the old city.  I walked around the bottom and up through a set of stairs to Place de Remparts, a very small plaza at the top of the ramparts.

The Place des Remparts

We have enjoyed visiting all the historic sites, the lively markets, and many sites that Van Gogh  painted while he lived here in 1888.  Including, the night cafe scene below.

We are off to Paris tomorrow.
