Take care though. We were carried away by the Pont du Gard and walked right across the valley to photograph the viaduct from above. We well and truly had red faces when the driver had to come to find us. We hadn't been paying sufficient attention to our French listening and thought we had an hour for the stop, rather than the half hour that the driver had requested.

I think we understood the odd "les Anglais," though, as we re-entered the coach!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15996 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15993
Remember you arrive at Avignon Central, not the TGV station so don’t try to hire a car from the wrong place. The Grand Hotel by the station is fine and the walk through the city gates and up to the Palace is easy and interesting. The café on Rue Saint Michel at the corner of Rue Paul Manivet opens early on Sundays and has the best coffee. Enjoy!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15993 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15976
A curved façade and wall of overlapping laminated glass panels has been used by the architect to impressive effect. Look upwards to fully appreciate the scale of it all.

Avignon is just one of four new stations between Paris and Marseilles commissioned in 1998.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15976 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14326 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14326
