AVIGNON, FRANCE
May 24- June 8, 2001
Also another relaxing part of our trip; this place is quite interesting and magnificent, because of the medieval Palace of
the Pope, the broken bridge that used to span the forks of the river Rhone, and let's not forget, there are still walls that
protect the city from potential invaders.

Another view of the left hand side of the facade.
We are not
allowed to take pictures inside the palace, but we were able to take more view of the architecture when we exited from the
palace courtyard.
Here is a
view of the city of Avignon and one of the museums (Calvet Museum, I think) on the left hand side of the palace.
This picture
is dark, but it also shows the view of the city
