Early morning views of Pont d'Avignon
Palace spires
16euro ride for one hour on this boat and you wouldn't see much!
Sheltered square in the heart of town. To the left is nothing but outdoor seating for cafes and restaurants and bars. The social heart of Avignon!
Beautiful clock tower from which the name of the main square derived it's name ie "Clock Tower"
Old fashioned something! Can't remember the name!!
Looking at main square with Carousel made in 1900.
Walk through a narrow alley about 30 ft long and into another square in front of the Palace des Papes
Accordian busker. Played some great music! Very talented.
