Baths of Constantine

Arles, the little French version of Rome, is full of history, architecture and beauty. The Baths of Constantine form part of the building which is declared to be a World Heritage Site. It dates back to the 4th Century and enjoys an excellent location, situated close to the Rhone and the center of the city of Arles. When I arrived in the city I bought a joint ticket which allows you to visit all of the Roman monuments and is very good value. The ruins of the baths, which have been nicely restored, make you feel like a traveler from the era of the Grand Tour, there are no crowds, and it is surrounded by beauty and yet ephemeral life.
