Arles is the first stop on our Epicurean Delights cruise of Burgundy & Provence - it's also home to a 2000 year old amphitheatre that has been restored and hosts regular bullfights! (unfortunately no fights whilst we were there, but the amphitheatre was truly imposing and one has no difficulty imagining a Roman Circus taking place). There are many historical sites, from Roman times through to the Middle Ages. We strolled around cobbled streets looking at the local sights on a very informative guided tour before returning to the boat for the Captain's Welcome cocktail party and dinner, complete with live music and dancing (good thing I packed the little black dress). Hopefully all the walking will compensate for at least some of the eating - and dancing is good exercise too.
