Arles, Where Walls Are Unpainted On Purpose

Arles, in the South of France, is not as rich as Avignon or as trendy as Aix-en-Provence. But it feels gritty and real, with a patina of life that I find very seductive. When I saw this gorgeous wall, as if awaiting a painter’s attention, I asked if it was an initiative of the town or tourist board. My guide said, “No, that’s just the way we like it.”

  1. We too really enjoyed Arles! Are you planning a stop in Paris? We are here now and would be beyond thrilled to run into you. We always tell our friends and family ” we never set foot in Europe without Rick” . Happy travels!
