When I was in Avignon, France, I saw this sign and decided that I should try to see as many of these places as possible.
The first place I went was to the Palais des Papes that was full of interesting rooms, nooks, and details on display. Here is some of what I saw.
Later I decided to visit some of the shops in the same area. I liked the brightly colored fabrics and all the lavender items for sale. I purchased quite a few of the soaps and sachets to take home as souvenirs. These pictures include important shopping details!
You can find more details here.
Nice to have some directions to follow!
