Our first river cruise stop was Arles, a charming town that inspired Van Gogh. He was in their hospital for treatment after he cut off his ear - it was interesting standing in the same spot that gave him inspiration to paint the gardens. There is also a Roman amphitheatre where they still have popular bullfighting events - the bullfighters try to pull the ribbons off the bull's horns, so a bit different than most.
