Hans, Wim and I visited AVIGNON and ORANGE September 25, 2000. We found both places to be enchanting and rich in history.
AVIGNON located in Provence-Alpes-Cote D'Azur, is a charming city in the southeastern part of France on the Rhone River. It is a very ancient city and was part of the Roman Empire more than two thousand years ago.
Orange has a well-preserved Roman Theatre, with a prominant statue of Augustus, that is still used for concerts during the summer festival.

I like your descriptions Lori. Great history lessons. There's so much to see and do in this part of the world!! Can't wait!! xx
Loved your pictures and descriptions of the gorgeous architecture. Le Pont d'Avignon must be a great place to visit with the wonderful view it offers.
An interesting page where I have learnt some new information, thanks Lori! Would like to visit this area and do some climbing and clambering like you did!
Avignon is certainly a great tourist destination with such great attractions as the Opera House, Le Pont and the Palace of the Popes. Theatre in Orange is another wonderful attraction. Thanks for sharing. ~ho & pang
Interesting tip about former residence of Popes! I had now idea about this.Thanks for that info. Avignon looks interesting- the LE PONT D'AVIGNON is in good shape-even after all these years. Nice pictures too, Lori.
Lori, fabulous little page about this famous French town. I must admit that I haven't explored much of France yet.
Your tips and photos bring back nice memories of my visits to Avignon and Orange on a bicycle tour in May 1963.
Nice photo - a bridge to nowhere :)
Avignon has long been on my wish list but I wasn't aware of the attractions in nearby Orange - that theatre looks great!
Yes, I remember singing that song at my French classes :).
