The Places : The tour opens with views of the Camargue, the marshy region near Arles with its wild life. Views of the Cote d'Azur are intercut with glimpses of the Munich Glyptothek with its collections of Roman and Greek statuary. Near Arles is the ancient Abbey of Montmajour and the fortified monastery and Abbey on Saint-Honorat, one of the Iles de Lerins. In Arles we see the Roman theatre and necropolis and, at Saint-Remy-de-Provence, the remains of the ancient Gallo-Greek town of Glanum. The Music : Music for the tour includes Debussy's evocative Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune, two Gymnopedies by Erik Satie and Ravel's two suites from his ballet Daphnis et Chloe, followed by his Introduction and Allegro for Harp, Flute, Clarinet and String Quartet .
