Arles - Les Baux & Glanum

On the 11th March we did a ticky tour around Arles/Les Baux de Provence/Glanum and back down the coast. Sorry these have taken so long to get onto the blog.

CARRO BEACH

Loving the sand






Ewwwwwwwwwww It's in my toes!!!!

GLANUM


I can't find my notes on Glanum, but from memory it was discovered by this guy in 1921 and has been being excavated ever since. It dates back to 2000BC (??) I think. It was just amazing walking around it.



View as you walk in



As above


Me & M


Shaun and Maia take it all in from the viewpoint.



Shaun and Maia down at the water. It was amazing to think of people years and years ago walking down the same steps.



Walking through the ruins.



Roman Gutters!!!!


Maia in what we think would have been a sink or bath??


and again......



Prior to 1921, this was the only visable part of the city (and it was actually over the road). Everyone thought that this was all that was left of it.
LES BAUX DE PROVENCE
This place is just amazing!!!!!




A wicked waterfall on the way



A view of the village. (Thats it up behind the rocks)


This door used to be the ONLY entrance to the village.


Me in front of the door...
