6th June 2011

A fairly short run to Avignon, which we approached along the river so had a great view of it. Our campsite was literally just over the bridge and opposite the Palace, fantastic views and walks along the river. Booked in and were given a pitch only to find it already occupied, so we took the next one which had more sun! Incredibly this camp is one of the cheapest ones we have stayed on, the facilities may be a bit used but given its location it is still surprising.

After lunch we walked into Avignon and spent the afternoon wandering around its streets, it is huge especially when you consider it is still within the old walls. Found a tourist info office and picked up a map with coloured walks on it for tomorrow. Had a really good local beer in a bar overlooking a main street and people watched, there were a few interesting characters!
