The road to Avignon

We set off East heading towards St.Tropez, a long driving day so we stopped in Nimes for lunch, a perfectly pleasant town with a Roman background, visited an amphitheatre and then headed towards Pont de Gard, the oldest and highest Roman aquaduct in France, when we got there the French were charging 18 Euros to park your car to view the bridge, we decided not to pay so we headed towards Avignon, Emma fell asleep in the van so I quickly popped into a medieval village overlooking the bridge whilst she slept . On arrival in Avignon the area was swarming in French tourists, it was the French version of the Edinburgh Fringe and everywhere was full. We headed out of town to find a site for the night and saved ourselves for the next day..
