Sheila made it to Arles from Gainesville. Sooz and I picked her up at the Montpellier airport Tuesday and have been busy checking out historic sites, markets and shops in Arles. It's been fun to see France through her eyes. On our way back from the airport in Montpellier we stopped in Nimes for touristy stuff and food.

Entrance to the
Church of Saint-Honorat à Arles - Saint-Césaire Convent, at first called Saint-Jean monastery, was a nunnery in the city of Arles in the south-eastern corner of the rampart. It was founded in 512 AD.
More small, narrow, claustrophobic tunnels, this time under the Church
A spooky looking stone carving at the Church
Lunch at Le Gibolin in Arles. We met a really nice young couple from Germany who were finishing a year off work after resigning from their jobs so they could travel.
