France Wine Trail: Day 7 - 2nd June 2008
We left Carcassonne at 9am and headed towards Avignon. We stopped just outside of Avignon to visit Pont du Gard (the old Roman bridge) and arrived in Avignon at 2pm. I found it extremely hard to find a reasonably priced B&B in Avignon, and ended up going with a buget hotel. It was very basic.

We headed straight to the Tourist Office as I was unable to find any tours on the internet to book in advance. They managed to find us a English speak tour guide for a private half day wine tour the following morning from 9am - 2pm. It was only e$210 between the four of us which was very reasonable.

We headed uptown towards the Palace of the Pope, and walked through the pedestrian walk of restaurants, bars and cafes before heading into a bar which was recommended by the ladies at the tourist office as the "fashion" place for people watching.

After some photos of the palace, we headed out to dinner. We found 'Le Bain' which was a little pricey for our budget e$35 per person, for the 3 course menu. But we decided to splurge. The food was amazing. Absolutely delicious!
