Life in the streets, Avignon

Favorite thing: Summer is for living in the streets. Even in Avignon thare are plenty of restaurants offering external tables along the pedestrian area in the historical centre.

Fondest memory: Lots of music, funny people walking in the streets and amusing themselves.

Fondest memory: She has that smile on her face, the one that you have when you are five years old and your mother dress you with your favorite dress... and she allows you to take a ride on the carousel.

First you feel the excitement; it seems that you're going to remain still forever, but then the little white horse you're riding starts its movement... and your eyes shine, and you saw how your mother smiles at you with a mixture of proud and happiness . But you don't really care about her, or about the guy who is taking pictures at you.

Your only concern right there, at that moment, is that you don't want your little white horse ever to stop. You want to feel that trickling in your arms, you want to see how the world runs around you exactly like that forever. Enjoy your ride, sweetheart. I certainly enjoyed witnessing your happiness. :-)

Favorite thing: stroll along Place de L'Horloge. Place de l'Horloge is a lovely square in front of Hôtel de Ville where you can find many terrace cafés dotting both sides of the area and an interesting looking 'Belle Epoque' carrousel found at the top end of the long square. Both streets at the top end of the Place d'Horloge lead to the Place du Palais and the Palace of the Popes

Fondest memory: Here's a pic I took from the plaza.... Ah, capture the panoramic beauty of this medieval-like city on film.

Once you arrive in Avignon... you may not even want to leave afterwards. Why? Well, for one, this town is really beautiful...

Secondly, Avignon is a medieval-like town with tons of history, art, music and fun things to do! Just to 'see' the town itself, you could even wander the narrow streets inside the fortified walls for days without feeling bored!

This is indeed one of the loveliest of French cities and towns. And, Avignon is surrounded by ramparts (12th and 14th century) and has many old churches.

Favorite thing: Some of the fortifications of Avignon
