Our final day at our house in St. Remy was spent exploring the town of Avignon. Axelle, her father, and her father's godmother came with us. It was so great seeing Axelle again, and seeing her in her home country! In Avignon, we saw the famous half-bridge and explored the expansive Palace of the Popes. To read more about the half-bridge, click here: Pont D'Avignon on Wikipedia
The Rhone River from the bridge
There was a small alcove that appeared to be some kind of chapel on the bridge.
It was really windy that day. Can't you tell?

After gaping at the enormous palace from the outside, we took a tour of the palace. It was expansive and overwhelming; there were so many rooms to explore and so many different artifacts to look at and histories to comprehend. We moved quickly through the palace and came to the top.

After our tour, we sat at a cafe right outside the front gates for a drink.

Those popes sure had big palaces.

Everyday looked like it was beautiful on your vacation.

Et le palais des Papes a permis a quelques uns d'aller et venir puis de prendre quelques rafraichissements avant une montee vers les jardins ventes : C'est le Mistral !
