Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Avignon and Marseille 9-16 August 2019

We met our very good friends Paul and Sonya from Wagga Wagga in the town of Arles, which is half an hour on the train from Marseille. Our friends had a car, so we were able to go with them to Aix-en-Provence and the Parc Ornithologique and Saintes-Maries de la Mer, as well as going to Avignon on the train. It is recommended that you click on photos to see an enlarged version. I have put in some links below the photos where you will find more information.
