Good food, nice people, lovely landscape, intriguing local stories, a degree of conviviality at night :
Avignon has all of this.
We can also advise you on special interest trips :
- For instance, for the book enthusiasts : Second-hand and specialist bookshops, itinerant book markets and public libraries (In nearby Carpentras, the Inguimbertian library ( l'Inguimbertine) is not to be missed).
- Side trip to the Alpilles : only 25 km from Avignon, Saint Remy de Provence, where accomodation is expensive and hard to find, is a world in itself, with many museums and art galleries. Walking around the tiny walled-in city is a pleasure - alas shared by throngs of people. Wandering in the contryside around town is a bit disappointing since the lanes are not interconnected any more ( most of the farms have become multimilllionaire's villas, and the major roads have a bit too much traffic). Van Gogh, ex resident of the local psychiatric hospital, would nowadays have a though time wandering around.
Anyway, why do we publish this young donkey as side photography ? Well because we like him ; he is from around Saint Remy, and although he does'nt read much, like us he knows his way around.
