Today, there is no more carriages, and only running cars on the streets.<br />
Walking however, is still a much more enjoyable way to explore the town. At<br />
every corner there were signages for tourists to follow, but somehow I was still<br />
lost. Some stone roads still remain to this day, while some has been paved. It<br />
is easy for tourists to lose their way in this ancient town and not really know<br />
which part of history they are stepping on.<br />
Even with the golden days are now gone, along with the lavish lifestyle of<br />
aristocats. Arles today is a calm and serene town, and much like what you can<br />
see in Van Gogh's paintings of Arles - a perfectly ideal place for people who<br />
want to hide away from the world.<br />
I am running out of things to describe Arles, as words can not justify the<br />
beauty of this place. The river still maintains its constant flow. Stones on<br />
the ancient walls continue to stand the test of time. Graceful cats wander<br />
about the place. This is a town where you must come to see and feel for<br />
yourself why it is so much loved.<br />
