Avignon, France


The old part of European cities is always a delightfully tangled maze of narrow streets and alleyways, and there is nothing I like more than simply wandering the streets, admiring the architecture and finding surprises around every corner.



That's exactly what I did when I visited Avignon.




My first surprise in Avignon was to find such a large city still surrounded by a tall stone wall.


I particularly enjoyed the park on top of the Rocher des Doms with its view over the Rhȏne River.



I visited the Palais des Papes and shuffled a few dance steps on the Pont d’Avignon, but my happiest moments were spent simply wandering the back streets.



Of course, I found time to visit Les Halles, the indoor market, as well.
