• Avignon, a lovely city to get lost in.

    After the food tour, we retraced our steps back to Cafe Lizette for a coffee. The tour was excellent but it was go-go-go, so it was nice to just sit in the sunshine and sip our coffees. Katie decided to head back to the apartment while Ian and I wanted to explore some of the narrow streets we had been down with Zarah, but at a more relaxed pace.

    We wandered up and down the narrow streets; some were familiar, others new to us, with interesting architecture and stores. We found some lovely street art and a gorgeous store full of handed painted silk scarves that were stunning. Ian spotted a beautiful scarf that was to my liking. We spoke to the owner/artist Brigitte Bertoux and she showed us her work room and explained the process she uses for her work. We then stopped at our local bar to have a drink and soak up the sun and atmosphere of this wonderful town.

    We decided on another night eating in, including charcuterie, cheese and baguette with a fabulous Crémant (sparkling wine). Tomorrow we check out from the apartment and then have the day to amuse ourselves before boarding the barge.
