We woke to a beautiful, sunny day in the south of France (forecast 82 degrees) and had a delicious French breakfast of fruit, yogurt and baguette at the Abnb and headed to the world famous city of Avignon in our trusty Peugeot!
Our GPS guided us to the city through about 99 round-abouts😳 While it was only 40 kilometers, it took almost 1 hour to get to the city with traffic and construction.
We arrived safely and parked the car in the theater district. We took a walking tour of the city, stopping at sights as we walked.
Avignon is World Heritage site as it has an intact walled city from the 1300s. It was the home of 7 different Popes from 1309-1377 as bad stuff was coming down in Rome😳
On our walking tour, we came to the Palais des Papes, (the Popes Palace). Then Pont Saint-Bénézet, The bridge of Avignon. The city is beautiful, with just the right mix of tourists and locals. Lovely!
We decided to take the back way home and visit some winery’s and smaller villages on the way!
We visited Tavel for wine tasting ( this is Rose country) and than Pouzilhac, a lovely village in the middle of nowhere 😎
Then, relaxed by the pool with a glass of vino. Stop it! I’m making myself sick😊
Tomorrow the Cotes du Rhône wine road and tour of the Chateaneuf-du-Pape😎🍷supposedly the world class vino. We will see😎🍷
Au revoir 😎🍷
