As we stepped off the train, we knew we were in for a treat. Avignon, a city in southeastern France, is a place filled with rich history and culture. Our first stop was the iconic Pont Du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct bridge that has stood the test of time for over 2000 years. The bridge’s intricate water system is still operational today and is a true testament to the brilliance of the Roman architects who built it. The sound of the 400 liters of water per second surrounding the bridge was a sight and sound to behold.
Next, we visited the Palace of the Popes, the biggest Gothic palace in all of Europe. As we entered, we were handed small tablets that contained the history behind the palace that we could listen to. The view from the top of the Palace of The Popes was breathtaking, with a panoramic view of the city that left us speechless.
