In Troubadour-Land by Sabine Baring-Gould

The Arles race a mixture of Greek and Gaulish -- The colonisation by the Romans -- The type of beauty in Arles -- The amphitheatre -- A bull-baiting -- Provencal bull-baits different from Spanish bull-fights -- The theatre -- The ancient Greek stage -- The destruction of the Arles theatre -- Excavation of the orchestra -- Discovery of the Venus of Arles -- A sick girl -- Palace of Constantine.

Before describing Arles I began with the Elysian Fields, the great cemetery of Pagan and Christian Arles, for this seems to have affected the whole town, and with the dust of ages to have smothered the life out of it.
