Sur le Pont d’Avignon on y danse ðŸŽ¤

Avignon is a lovely, old city with lots of history and a very famous children’s song (hence my fun title for this blog). We arrived on Sat. Sept. 17 – the circus was in town (it was set-up behind where we were staying which made the streets super busy) and it was European Heritage weekend (which meant all the museums and historical places were free!). We have explored the Palais des Papes, Fort Saint Andre, the Pont d’Avignon and the walled city centre. We’ve had nice weather – a bit cooler and super windy. 

One more night in Avignon and then we head to Juan les Pins on the French Riviera. We’ve decided to drive back to Paris via Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Should be lots of fun.

The Pont d’Avignon spans about half the distance of this part of the Rhone River.
We had a great walk through the gardens at Fort Saint Andre.
