Saturday July 25th, 2015. The city of Avignon.


Irene at breakfast. We have eaten way too much this trip! Back to reality soon.
The Ferris wheel just outside our cruise ship. Quite a few people rode this at night.
There are only so many gates in the wall where you can enter the historical city.
The city hall of Avignon.
Palace of the Popes.
Inside the palace. Many stairs, crumbling rocks, but an interesting place.
Hard to believe this was built in the 14th century.
The rock retains the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter. Some places were cooler.
Stained glass windows.
Inside on of the massive rooms.
The Pope's window where he would wave at the crowds.
Battling cameras.
Saint Pierre. 

The covered market. Inside it reminded us of the Granville island market.

After we sat on the deck with beer and wine.
