We spent two days in the town of Avignon in Provence, France. We got there by taking the Eurostar from London St Pancras going via Paris Gare de Lyon to Avignon direct and non-stop. Avignon is famous for the Medieval city walls, the Pont St Benezet, and the Palais de Papes, where seven popes resided in the 14th Century. Avignon was granted UNESCO World Heritage Status in 1995.
