interesting street to walk down and absorb the atmosphere, but watch out for the local alcoholics who also seemed to like this location! More

On a walk on a late afternoon in late April, the light was wonderful and I was able to take some terrific photos of the sycamores and the shops along the street. More

I went on the suggested walking routes given on the tourist map and was quite surprised by this area. It shows a far different side of Avignon than the typical 'lavender and linen' tourist one. A little run-down in parts but authentic. The river with its water wheels is quite picturesque and although I was there in April, I can... More

This part of town was fairly priced compared to the other parts of town, had a long list of restaurants to choose from and even offered bars with live music, including some great Jazz.
