This afternoon, I walked over the river and then north to view Arles from a different perspective. The Rhone has played an important role in the history and economy of Arles for thousands of years. This is what it looks like looking eastward across the Rhone.
I could see the lions that marked the western end of the old railroad bridge (which was blown up by the Allies to stop Germans from moving equipment during World War II) and walked over to them. Previously, I had walked or biked to the lions on the east side of the river, but this was my first visit to the west-side lions.

Just before the lions, I encountered a festival with food trucks and live music. There is always something to celebrate here.
