Avignon-- famous for the Palace of the Popes and Avignon bridge... The old town is surrounded by a 3-mile long wall with 39 towers and 8 gates. The walls were built from 1350 to 1368. Very windy but the sun is out...
Expanding on Day 3 in Avignon... Just to let you know that Carole received her luggage on Monday and Diana received hers on Tuesday – both delivered to the ship courtesy of Air France. Our cruise director Christian was on top of things with Air France.
In Avignon we enjoyed a ride from the ship thru the town to the Popes Palace on a “train” with a delightful commentary by our guide Nina. Once again the weather was cool but dry. We enjoyed the leisurely walk back to the ship which took about 20 minutes after our sightseeing. That evening we left on our next stop of Viviers. It is really a nice way to see Europe without packing and unpacking. 
Hi Diana,
I'm keeping up with you. Guess I can't send my latest joke. Have fun....Fran
