<p>e never heard of 59 Rue de Rivoli until a few days before we visited it. Fascinating place and definitely a must see. Rue de Rivoli is famous for its high end shopping. 59 Rivoli is the exact opposite. The facade is often decorated with posters, banners, or multimedia shows. The building serves as a squat, workshop, and gallery for a number of artists. From the ground floor you climb seven floors of graffiti covered stairwell. Each floor is different. You can check out each floor and chat with the artists, or watch them paint, or just check out the artwork. There are so many different styles of art here. I'm glad Heather talked me into going here!</p>

<p>Your first impressions of Arles in the south of France will likely be marked by the city's Roman legacy. In 49 BCE, the city's prosperity and political standing rose meteorically when it backed Julius Caesar over his rival Pompey the Great. Caesar plundered Marseille, which supported the wrong side, and Arles eclipsed Marseille as the region's major port.<br />
<br />
Soon, its citizens were living the high life, with gladiator fights and chariot races in magnificent open-air theaters that are still surprisingly intact today. The city's 12,000-seat theater and 20,000-seat amphitheater continue to stage major events, including Arles' famous férias, with their controversial bullfights, and street parties.<br />
<br />
Arles is also famous for its role in the history of art. The city boasts some very impressive (and gleamingly futuristic) art museums and it hosts a world-renowned photography festival every year. And, of course, some of Vincent van Gogh's most well-known works were conceived here.</p>
