A Day in Arles: Jules and the Light
Jules wakes up early in his small apartment in Arles. The first light of morning fills his room. It is a special, bright light, the same light that Vincent van Gogh loved. Jules makes strong coffee and eats a fresh croissant from the bakery downstairs. He enjoys the quiet start to his day.
Around eight o'clock, Jules walks to the farmers' market. It is full of colors and sounds. Farmers sell fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Jules greets his friends who have small shops there. He buys some cheese and olives. The market is a lively place, full of life, just like in Van Gogh's paintings.
After the market, Jules walks by the Roman arena. He often stops to look at the old stones. He imagines gladiators and crowds from long ago. Arles has a very long history, and Jules feels connected to it every day. Sometimes, he sees artists painting near the arena, trying to capture the light.
For lunch, Jules usually eats at a small, friendly restaurant near the Rhône River. He likes to sit outside and watch the water. The river flows calmly, just as it did when Van Gogh painted it at night.
In the afternoon, Jules works as a guide. He shows visitors the famous places in Arles: Van Gogh's yellow house, the café he painted, and the Roman theatre. He tells stories about the painter and the city's past. He loves to see people's happy faces.
As evening comes, Jules often meets friends for a glass of wine. They sit in a square, talking and laughing. The city lights come on, warm and inviting. For Jules, every day in Arles is beautiful, full of art, history, and a very special light.
Now you can do the QUIZ.
