Today (October 3, 2018) we spent the morning in Arles, and then drove to three small, picturesque nearby towns: Les Baux-des-Provence, Saint-Remy-de-Provence, and Tarrascon. Tarrascon is actually not so picturesque, with a huge but rather drab castle as its main attraction. However, the other two have some striking features.
An amazing attraction of Les Baux-des-Provence is the Carrieres des Lumieres (Quarry of Light), an abandoned bauxite mine that features light shows projected on its huge walls. The show when we went was "Picasso and the Spanish Masters". This photo shows a detail from Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". The scale can be seen from the tiny dark human figures in the purplish area in the lower left of the photo.
