    We decided to take the La Petit Train around the old city to learn more and gather our surroundings.
    It was in English too (which was a surprise as they said it would not be). 45 minutes around the old town down some amazing tree lined streets and very clean.

    We went back to the Airbnb for some American PBJ and apples and off to walk the city and see more up close.

    Walked about the same 5 k + as Bill did this morning. Visited a few churches and the Jardine La Fontaine and Temple of Diana.
    We saw some amazing Roman ruins that are very well preserved.
    La Maison Carré is so well preserved. And in a gorgeous square.    Read more
