We arrived in Avignon late in the afternoon having meandered across from the Luberon. It was the last stop of the day before returning to Aix. We took a brisk walk through the walled city exploring the narrow streets and picking up some baguette, camembert de Normandy and caramels along the way. The ancient city walls insulated the streets in the old city from the modern highway traffic beyond. Avignon is wonderfully atmospheric with beautiful buildings and interesting vistas at every turn. We made our way up to Fort Saint Andre to gain a better vantage point overlooking the city and surrounds. The last rays of the sun cast a golden glow over the city below.
