Avignon, France

We took the train from Barcelona, Spain on Thursday to Montpelier, France. We picked up a rental car and began our Provence adventure. The apartment in the walled city of Avignon is everything we expected however driving the narrow streets and parking garage is a challenge for the boys.

Scenic France from the train

First adventure was a drive to the town of Nimes and a visit to the arena there. It is very well preserved and obviously there was to be an event there later as they were setting up the tents and tables and chairs. From there we drove up to Pont du Gard and learned all about the Roman aqua ducts. Truly a feat of engineering. The day couldn't have been better.
