After that, we drove to Glanum. Glanum is the site of an ancient GREEK (yes Greek, not Roman) settlement. It was settled by the Greeks in the 2nd century B.C. The Romans took over the Greek settlement around the beginning of the 1st century A.D. when they conquered this area.
Finally, we drove to St. Remy de Provence where Nostradamus was born (see bust on top of the fountain) and where van Gogh was cared for after he cut off his ear. The kids rode on a merry-go-round (again) and then we had a fantastic dinner before heading back to our house in Arles.
