Mercure Sud Avignon

Plan was to stay in Avignon but when we arrived we decided it was too big for us and after driving around the outide of the ramparts of the old city walls - very cool and the main thing we wanted to see - we made our way onwards to Fontaine de Vaucluse which is 20kms past Avignon. We arrived just before dark and found an Aire de Service at the edge of town where settled in for 2 days. The town ...

... the old stone replaced like this. But if it wasn&#8217;t done, there would be nothing left to see! Also, who&#8217;s to say what is &#8216;original&#8217; and what is not after so long a time. For a building as old as this, I believe a few renovations have taken place over the years! <br><br> Just down the street was the Theater Antique, or Classical Theater. A century ...

... did he find the determination to continue? Even the one friendship he had ended so bitterly that he felt the need to main himself. Thus triggering the descent into insanity. <br> <br> Starry, starry night, <br> Flaming flowers that brightly play.<br> Swirling clouds and violet haze.<br> Reflecting in Vincent&#8217;s eyes of China blue. <br><br>I was so ...

... in the world, apart from one old town section that wasn't worth getting out the car for. Note to self, do not assume small cosy villages, check it out on Google! <br><br>We checked out the map and a few other places on our phones (data roaming charges are going to be scary) and decided to head towards St Tropez.. but to make the drive more err 'interesting' (like driving in Europe on wrong side of road on autobahns isn't interesting enough) we chose the road ...

... we were able to have a swim. The only problem with this is sea urchins, once you have donned your trendy bikini you must then put on some highly unattractive swimming booties that will prevent your feet from getting stung. Luckily we didn't have any problems with them ourselves and in truth I believe the whole thing is a cleverly marketed scam by the bootie manufacturing company so they can sell to tourists at £10 each! Our trendy house/hostel came with a ...

... was amazingly good, and a magician that wasnt so good, but made Mark go up and assist him for one of his tricks which was a little ammusing (so glad it wasnt me!), and then headed back and hung out by the river for a while, before walking up to watch a free show that we had been given a flyer for by these 2 seemingly crazy french guys who were wearing big nappies. They spoke good english and from what they described it seemed to be a ...

... where we got some candy and saw the Christmas procession goat!, Roussillon (with its beautiful ochre colored rock and buildings), and Gordes where we enjoyed a nice cup of tea. We also passed by the Lavender Museum in Apt, and very excitingly visited a vineyard in the Lubéron where we sampled a few wines and took a few bottles home! We had a really great time in Avignon/Provence. :)

... the river so you can check it out up close. I climbed across the other side and tried to walk out on that side to get back to the bus. I was about 4 miles from the place I had started when I realised that I would have to go back the way I came if I was to make the last bus back to Nimes of the day. So, I had to run the whole way back but I made it. I also took a daytrip to Avignon. Avignon is a bit smaller than Nimes but it is really a cute little town ...
