Rue du portail Magnanen, AvignonOn this recently renovated facade an old engraved sign appears beautifully restored : Chez Rouberty on loge à pied et à cheval, which roughly translates as "Rouberty's, providing accommodation for people travelling on foot or on horseback". I wonder when this dates ... Comment - Like

L'isle sur Sorgue
With the Siberian temperatures we've had lately the wheels on the fast running waters of the Sorgue are gathering icicles again. Do you remember the amazing photos I took in December 2009 and February 2010? For current images, please visit my friend Michel's Avignon blog here : ... Comment - Like

Place Pignotte, AvignonIt isn't every day that you see a man at your window when you live on the 4th floor! Tree lopping last Monday was the cause. These tall plane trees get trimmed approximately every three years - see here the photos I took in January 2008. This post is my participation in Skywat... Comment - Like

Restaurant Vert Citron, Place de l'horloge, Avignon
Using a blonde beauty as a selling trick for any type of product is a long-standing marketing trick. The twist here is to give it a vintage look. I've seen these adverts all over Avignon's cafes. Worth noting, the compulsory warning at the bottom o... Comment - Like

Plage de Palavas
Should I admit? This is a collage of two photos, under and above the horizon. Both were taken within minutes of each other along the beach at Palavas near Montpellier, a 90-mn drive from Avignon. The wind was blowing strong and kitesurfers regularly made spectacular jumps, but above... Comment - Like

Rue Trial, Avignon
Continuing on yesterday's post, what else is new on the street art scene? I found in a narrow back lane a caption you might have read before : "what matters isn't the fall but the landing", certainly a reference to the movie La Haine (Hate or hatred) by Mathieu Kassovitz (1995) w... Comment - Like

GordesFlash back to last August: the village of Gordes, one of the prettiest in France, is photographed a zillion times each day by tourists from this very spot : a sign announces the lookout and a large car park makes stopping easy. To make my own photo a little bit different I stepped down onto a ... Comment - Like

Avignon, en amont
Last Saturday on a walk along the Rhone I met Mr. Goat. For a tasty bunch of flowers he was quite ready to stretch his neck over a rusty fence. Of course I didn't let him wait, he got it all and ate the lot to the very last flower. This post is my participation to the November City... Comment - Like
