Pretty Little Details: Arles, France

In retrospect, Arles has been one of the most culture-rich French cities I have visited. It host everything from Van Gogh's famous works, to Gallo-Roman ruins, to fantastic graffiti. Here are some of my favorite shots from my short little trip:

Lovely stencil work found after misinterpreting the scale of our map 

Carousels are obviously big in Europe

Freow!

Lovely inset road markers - This was for Van Gogh, that way for ruins!

Symmetry in l'Espace Van-Gogh

I just can't help myself with the cheese samples... Goat and Sheep are my faves!

Lovely Tomb

I hope these little details interested you as much as they did me.
