Avignon

On route to Avignon, Richie came down with some new stomach upset, which required a couple of emergency stops and some medication - so he is off the beer again.

We arrived early afternoon in Avignon and easily found the campsite - this time we had chosen an excellent site, opposite the famous 'unfinished' bridge and only a very short walk into the walled town. Which is very impressive, with the ancient walls surrounding the town and keeping it all from sprawling out. After a spot to eat and some beers (well not for Richie still) we wandered around the town into the twilight admiring the decorative floodlighting and finding the bridge not open to visitors at night.

The following morning we arose early to explore the bridge before setting off for Dijon. We both discovered that the bridge is famous for its song the world over (obviously the world does not include the UK...). Does this mean anything to you??
