On the bridge of ...

Our first day in Avignon was spent exploring the old part of the city, inside ancient walls. Lovely narrow cobbled streets, beautiful blues and greens of shutters on old stone walls, canals and more. Visited the splendid Palais des Papes and walked up to the view point to see the famous bridge. 

We had rented a small basic apartment near the university, but as we set out again after a late afternoon rest we were disspionted to find all nearby restaurants closed. It can be tricky eating out while travelling, but I was determined to enjoy some local meals of southern France. Try again tomorrow.
