On local buses you pay the driver, fare is 1 euro 30, the ticket is punched in a machine and is valide for one hour, so you can travel again within the hour. Example one day after walking around Avignon and being tired i took a bus to Villeneuve lez Avignon and returned within the hour. The bus ride was very nice for the views.

Strolling Around Avignon

Walking is definitely the best way to experience Avignon. We enjoyed our strolls through the squares, wandering into shops, having a meal in a cafe, grabbing some ice cream, people watching and exploring. There are so many little streets and alleys to explore. We wandered into a side street and found a shop selling all sorts of cooking supplies, herbs, spices and oils. Liz waked out of the shop with bags full of Herbs de Provence, olive oils, teas and saffron. We also wandered into an open air market that was selling all sorts of jewelry. Liz found a nice deep blue beaded ankle bracelet.

I think a trip is all about the discovery and there is more to discoverwhen on foot.
