Nothing much to do this weekend so i went to Avignon and Aix en Provence for a short day trip on saturday. The first thing i get when i got off the train is, WA THE WIND SO STRONG!!!! Avignon is a pretty plain city, nothing fancy just the pretty River Rhone and the Palace of the Popes. So those who read the Knight Templar stories will know that for a period of time in history Rome was not that safe a place for popes to reside, so in seeking refuge, they found Avignon. Nice place to visit but definitely a 1 day visit
