Avignon

This morning we checked out of our B&B and drove an hour to Avignon (the centre of Provence) where we returned our car. We took a taxi to our hotel which is just inside the walls of the old Roman City. Avignon is such an amazing place oozing with culture, art, museums, street entertainment and beautiful huge historic buildings.

A typical scene here in Avignon.

 We took ourselves on a walking tour winding our way through the old city following the markers. The Palace of the Popes a 14th century gothic palace is right near our hotel so we visited 25 rooms using an audio guide. Half a day here really isn't enough but better than nothing. Tomorrow we begin our train rides and head off to Brugge the last stage of our journey.

We're all castled out now so good timing for a change.
