Arles, France 6 am stroll

/ Arles, in Provence, in the south of France. We enjoy another morning stroll, hanging out in Place Voltaire, a charming spot to watch the day begin, with its little tree-shaded square in the center surrounded by lovely old buildings. A couple of cafés and small food shops are open, but nothing much else is happening. La Giraudière opens later, serving tasty lunch and dinner. You'll see a few people on their way to work or school, but this village square is fairly quiet at this hour. There are several nice little two-star hotels located around the plaza in this part of town with reasonable rates, including Gaughin, Voltaire and Mirador. Walk a few hundred yards west to the ancient Roman Baths of Constantine, built in the 4th century, which you can appreciate from the outside, saving time and money, while enjoying a view of the Rhône River.
