Yes I'm in Avignon, one day early for my watercolor workshop (attending not teaching).
2017 has been the year of ramparts for me. I am done with them!!
But life in the festival d'Avignon takes place in the street. Not to worry.
International performers entice visitors with snippets of their acts
Hoping you'll buy a ticket for the show later on
Speechless!
An endless parade of get-ups
National costumes
What ev. Please can I buy your parasole? It is HOT here!
A great little band...why didn't I buy their CD?
Signs are put up all over town for the multitude of acts.
More signs
There are plenty of quiet square to sit and read a book or drink an apéro..
My biggest fascination was the ice cream of JEAN LE GOURMAND.
All flavors are churning so absolutely fresh
Pistache, passion fruit, mango, coconut. I can attest all are excellent and 2€ a pop.
Def bring a fan or pick one up. You'll need it!
Your architectural sketches have become a thing of envy for me:) They have YOUR personality..love them..
ReplyDeleteAvignon:) I think it looks charming..howdhedothat?

ReplyDeleteIf you were hot, how were those femmes in the wigs bearing it? They definitely needed those parasols. The ice creme looks amazing - can't wait to see the food post.
ReplyDeleteI was there last year, but not for the festival. It was in the 90s. The Papal Palace was fascinating. I kept thinking of The Name of the Rose.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the festival called? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOooops Didn't I say?
DeleteSimply : FESTIVAL D' AVIGNON
An annual event
Please don't give up on the ramparts.... Love them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun looking festival! At least if it's hot you can live of that tasty looking ice cream!! Hope the course goes well too.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there even if it is a little on the warm side!
ReplyDeletePerfect, we would like one of every flavor. Do they ship well.
