Back to Avignon.
In the oldest art gallery in town, Ducastel,
I detected these wonderful, funny ladies.
The artist is called Titou Vergier, 
she works with papier-mâché.



Avignon was pretty crowded, as it was kind of a long weekend
and everybody enjoyed the nice, mild summer day.


Books hops, yes, in France there still are quite many.
And funny: human comedy selling disaster edition postcards.


The market hall is pretty impressive from outside.
Inside okay.


The most important sight in Avignon is the Palace of the Popes.

The most famous sight in Avignon definitely is the bridge.

A wooden bridge spanning the Rhône between Villeneuve-lès-Avignon 
and Avignon was built between 1177 and 1185. This early bridge was 
destroyed forty years later in 1226 (...). Beginning in 1234 the bridge 
was rebuilt with 22 stone arches. The stone bridge was about 900 m 
in length and only 4.9 m in width, including the parapets at the sides. 
The bridge was abandoned in the mid-17th century as the arches tended to 
collapse each time the Rhône flooded making it very expensive to maintain. 
Four arches and the gatehouse at the Avignon end of the bridge have survived.
