This has made me laugh. My DH used to say, when in France, you never know whether to swallow it or stick it up your bum.
As always, lowering the tone one post at a time. No educational content about Arses/Arles whatsoever. Delete as appropriate.

Educational content alert!
But only because Cap’n Pugwash seems to have done what my Dad seemed to specialise in when we were on holiday - taken us somewhere on early closing day
So a map for educational purposes and a lovely pic of some of the white horses of the Camargue.
(And don’t tell me these are greys , we’re in foreign, right?)
A poem to amuse your Bouches
While we are moored in Arles
A land where artists came to roost
To paint and drink and parle
Van Gogh painted potatoes 
While Gauguin tried the bars
Picasso gave us jokers wild
Then Vincent turned to stars
We’d like to go to see them
Our plans were quite clear-cut
Buy Maw’s dad planned the day
And seems that everything is shut!
Kevin Beresford, whose hobby is photographing roundabouts in Redditch, claims to be the dullest man in Britain and is a member of the Dull Men's Club.
For sheer excitement, it's been extremely hard to find something to top this week's early evening talks on cement and paint stripping.
However, Kevin has come up trumps by alerting me to the Festival of Duck Tape which is currently taking place in Arles. It's why they've had to shut everything else. Sheer weight of numbers. The hotels are bursting at the seams with dull men talking sticky. By great good fortune, DMC member Rick Bland is available to talk to us this evening. I'm sure you will have lots of questions. As always, orderly queue for 18:00 start.
Really quite astonishing. How did you know that Joseanne?
I found this. One of life's quirkly coincidences.
You're right. I just went with the flow.
Anyway, as it's fishy Friday how sbout sea bass stuffed with herbs afterwards for dinner 20.30.
