Novotel - Avignon (Sud)

... over 1.5 million tourists each year as it is the source of a natural spring. It's wierd seeing a fast flowing river and then walking 50 metres "upstream" and there only being a trickle.. and then a bit further and no water... nothing but a big cliff straight up! <br><br>The town itself is nestled in a valley and is particularly pretty at dusk when rocks take on the colours of the sunset ...

... and Rhone. Built in 90 AD it&#8217;s hard to imagine all the events that have taken place in this building. Walking around and around, I tried to imagine it filled with 20 000 screaming fans as gladiators ripped apart animals, but it was hard. From Medieval times to the 1830&#8217;s, it was bricked up and used as a fortified city. 212 housed and 2 churches made their home ...

I&#8217;ve seen in Arles, Vincent had it just right!<br><br> For they could not love you, but still your love was true <br> And when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry, night <br> You took your life as lover often do. <br> But I could have told you, Vincent<br> This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you<br><br> Like the ...

We went to market in Villenueve in the morning and I finally got my Paella at market! We got a couple of small things, mostly for lunch. Some saucisson (sausage), olive tapanade, and some baguette slices. As well as the aforementioned Paella. <br><br>We then went to Villenueve-les-Avignon, which was the home of the Cardinals while the Pope was in Avignon. Lots of walking and climbing of hills, but impressive ...

... ham platter put together for us by his wife. The next morning we dragged our weary feet to the airport and spent the last of our Croation Khuna on some bottles of cheap vodka to bring home to see us through the long weeks of work to come. Back in London we were inevitably greeted with train delays and cancellations to remind us of the joys of the British train system and having to pay more for a one way ticket home than a weeks travel abroad! Adding to that ...

... duree 3h. Maintenant, on sent bon!!! Par la suite, on a decouvert notre petit hotel, tres mignone, avec vue sur un jardin; serviettes blanches mouelleuses, draps blancs propres et air climatisee, bref digne des plus belles chambres de la region (et abordable) et tenue par un gai en prime!!! Aujourd,hui, nous avons visite le fameux palais des papes. Nous avons aussi vu le pont d ...

... thought for sure there would be a dance or music performance that didn't have a language requirement. 800 performances a day we were told and handed a huge catalogue with all the times, dates, and events. Umm... what to do? Feeling overwhelmed and not being able to read any of the descriptions we opted for skipping a paid performance and enjoyed the street performers and crazy people dressed in costume for free. The entire afternoon and evening we did our ...

... sense. So, after making the drive up the Costa Brava in our slightly disabled car, we arrived back in Avignon, where we'd rented the beastly thing a week before. By the way, the toll road in France can be pretty hairy, in terms of giant tailgating trucks. It IS very fast, but just a word of caution to timid drivers or those who have a problem with constantly having to stick your credit card in toll gate machines before ...
