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!
I agree – that sign gave me lots of possibilities of places to see!
Gorgeous place to visit, Meg. The signposts would be essential for me. :)
Avignon is a beautiful place! I really appreciated that sign too… :)
Signposts are always welcome. :)
They have very important information!
What fun to just follow your nose (with a few suggestions from the friendly signpost).
It was wonderful to have such interesting places to see in every direction!
Lovely images Meg. I have yet to visit Avignon, I hope I get there some day. ;)
Thank you! It’s a place that I think you’ll really enjoy when you get there… :)
De très belles images d’Avignon et le fameux et célèbre Palais des Papes :-)
Merci – Avignon est très belle!
I love the window image. Great sunlight capture, Meg!
Thanks Amy – it was really sunny that morning!
Love the built in window seats.
I do too – they are really charming!
Did you try them out and check the views?
I did – they faced inner courtyards and I imagined what the views might have been like in the past… :)
Another charming feature of old buildings; inner courtyards. Love them.
They were amazing views!
Oh, Avignon, one of my most favorite places…..the escargot alone! Lovely post and photos!
Thank you – Avignon is among my favorites too! I remember you writing about the wonderful food there… :)
Nice photos, I liked Avignon even though we were only there for half day. Pretty sure I bought a tablecloth from that little shop :-)
Thanks Sam! That was a great shop and I bought one of the printed handbags from the display… :)
I love interesting nooks and architectural details in buildings, especially when they represent the work and lives of past eras. So fascinating. :)
That’s what I like about noticing the details – they really provide insight into the past!
