Arles Continued!

This blog format is quite bizarre- it wouldn't let me post any more photos the last time around, so I'll try again now! :)

Entering Les Alyscamps, a Roman necropolis= city of the dead.


During the Gallo-Romain era, this was the most famous cemetery in Europe, hosting over 80 GENERATIONS of the deceased.

Van-Gogh was here as well!


Roman Temple


A real gargoyle!

Inside the temple



Whoa

A tomb of honor


This is how they buried people...with body parts hanging out. The Romans were super lazy.

(c'est une blague, ne t'inquiete pas...)

Saint Genest was here!...talk about an ironic death

Lisez! Note: You can click on all of these images to see them enlarged.
