To anyone in France or who has visited Arles

I was just wondering if anyone has been to the site of van gogh's famous La Cafe De Nuit or "night cafe" (the one with the pool table in red and green). I've read it was at 30 Cavalerie Avenu in Arles, France. Just wondering what is there today. Thanks

My wife and I were there last year. We stopped in for lunch and a drink. Very much like it was depicted in the film, but a bit more touristy now. regardless, if you are a fan of van Gogh, you will have moments of magical transport through time.
