A day in Avignon - 8/16

A preparation day for departure so off we set to the Carrefour to do a wee bit of shopping, then into Avignon for a bit more shopping. We met up with the Blouquet family and then popped back into town to visit the Palais du Pape and surrounding area. The Palace is an imposing building set at one edge of the Avignon city walls. While there are few remnants of the interior of what must have been a grand building a few painted rooms survive and it is fantastic to see examples of the medieval artwork; no photography of the best rooms unfortunately. In the evening we shared a lovely dinner of Tartine, meats, cheese and dessert at a local restaurant with Sandrine, Nikita and Christoph followed by a wander of the streets to take in a few more sites.....
