Café Terrace at Night. 1888
This week end, we took the train from Marseilles and went to Arles.
Arles, once an important Roman city, was where Vincent Van Gogh lived and worked for more than a year from February 1888, producing more than 200 paintings and drawings.
We got there early and enjoyed la Place du Forum without the tourists. But just like them, I had to have a picture of Van Gogh's café...
Still on the same place, the Grand-Hôtel Nord-Pinus with a bohemian past during the fifties, when bullfighters and artists such as Picasso and Ernest Hemingway were entertained by its charismatic owners, a cabaret dancer and a tightrope-walking clown.
