We visited an ancient Roman theatre in Orange, France. I watched the informational film 4 times while feeding William. I learned that the theatre was millenia old and had been reincarnated as a village center, Louis XIV's trophy, and a prison during the French Revolution. It serves presently as an outdoor Opera. The adjacent temple ruins are a window into ancient civilization.

Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI love all your beautiful pictures. (This is probably the only way I'll ever visit France.) I especially love the picture of William with the big yawn.
I knew you spoke Spanish, but have you always spoken French, too? It was beautiful to hear little clips of it in your videos.
