Listen "Chasing Vincent in Arles, France "
Episode Synopsis
My favorite place on planet Earth. Vincent Van Gogh painted over 70% of his work here. The Romans used it as a decimated town between Spain and Italy. In 1979 two families joined together here to form the world renownd Gipsy Kings. As you stand on the hill looking south, you can feel the Mediterranean breeze blowing on your face. These winds originate from Africa. To the East is Italy, and to the West is Spain and the setting Spanish Sun. As your back Paris at your back, infused with Moorish African and ancient Roman influences.
