Avignon (6 July)
During our stay with Nick in Marseille, we took the train to Avignon and spent the day there. Avignon is a walled town - with a famous bridge.

 St Benezet Bridge over the Rhone river. Famous for the song "Sur le Pont d'Avignon". The bridge dates from the 12th century. Only part of the bridge remains - it doesn't span the river now.
