On Wednesday I went to Avignon with Lucy and Jess. It's about an hour and a quarter on the train. It's called 'La Cité des Papes' (the city of the popes) because it used to be what Rome is today. We went to Le Palais de Popes and of course to Le Pont d'Avignon (the bridge) that features in the famous song "Sur le pont d'Avignon", which is actually only three quarters of a bridge...

Avignon is lovely. It's quite small and historic and packed with tourists. We had a nice day though walking round the old streets and seeing the sights. It's a walled town with the Rhone flowing through. It was warm and sunny.
