                <description><![CDATA[Once you’ve arrived refreshed from your rail journey, don’t rush away too quickly from Avignon Station. Do take time to appreciate this innovative building completed in 2001. <br><br>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. <br><br>On your return journey ticketed passengers are allocated platform space nearest their booked train seat in order to reduce the usual rush when a train pulls in. Avignon is just one of four new stations between Paris and Marseilles commissioned in 1998.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Villeneuve lez Avignon really should be visited by anyone intending to spend more than a day in Avignon. Some 10 minutes' drive to the other side of the Rhone is this superbly preserved late medieval village with great views across to the Palais des Papes. <br><br>Apart from the Chartreuse, fort, abbey gardens and village square, there's a great restaurant in a hotel next to the church. Very good food in menus costing around 70€.The sommelier is happy to recommend wines at anything from 20€ up.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Admire the beautiful, walled city of Avignon from the viewpoint of its twin town of Villeneuve. Avignon’s Palace of the Popes was home to a number of fourteenth-century Popes and across the wide, meandering River Rhone is Villeneuve lez Avignon, the town where the papal courtiers lived. The walk to Villeneuve, which takes about half-an-hour, crosses the Rhone and involves a gentle, uphill approach to the sleepy town that boasts a medieval monastery, a fort and a citadel plus a plethora of pavement cafes. Perfect for an afternoon visit, there are regular buses if you can’t manage the walk.]]></description>
