Being so close to it, I couldn’t not show Avignon to Wolfram, at least a quick look at it. On our way back from Les Baux, we stopped there shortly so he could have a glimpse at the Palais des Papes (Popes’ palace) and the famous Pont d’Avignon (the bridge).
Unlike in Les Baux where we were the first ones, late afternoon Avignon was packed with people which inevitably means pictures with people on them. Never the less, I grabbed my wide angle to take a couple of shots of the palace. It’s a bit distorted but that was the only way to get it to fit entirely (almost) on one picture.
Note that now you have to pay 4 Euros (!!!!) to get the chance to walk on it. We skipped this as there is not much to see or do on the bridge. Still can’t believe they make you pay for it now. It used to be for free as I recall walking it during some family vacation as a kid.
