A most splendid day with friendly and knowledgable Emile - Emile was magnificent and we enjoyed both morning and afternoon tours with him to Pond Du Gard, Baux de Provence, We enjoyed a wonderful walking tour inside Avignon’s Papal Palace & old city walls. Our highlight was an afternoon drive yesterday to hike St.Remy, Les Baux De Provence, & then to hike out in the Southern countryside of France see the 2000 year old Pont Du Gard built by the Romans, A UNESCO World Heritage Site. 😊 We hopped all-aboard Tren Italia this morning to Paris. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour and look forward to our return to Avignon a one day.

So so - Our guide was not very engaging and at time seemed to struggle. The palace had a better method of seeing this site for less money. She took us to the touristy shopping area. Ugh! There must have been something better to share in this lively town.
