A short drive brings us to the Pont du Gard , a bridge built by the Romans 2,000 years ago. It has a large Roman Theatre and Arena that are integrated into the houses and buildings of the town. The streets of this city are truly medieval in character, narrow and winding between ancient buildings. Tonight, why not enjoy the alternative fringe Off Festival in Avignon, which creates a particularly theatrical atmosphere in the city. The Off Festival is a series of street shows set up by would be actors and is considered to be an excellent work lab for these aspiring young people.
Many events are free.
Late at night when the shows are over, the terraces fill up with actors and spectators alike, all creating a unique atmosphere found only in Avignon in the summer. Your morning is free to relax and further explore this special city. Avignon has lovely small museums. Lunch is on your own, so there is a good opportunity to sample more of the city's fine cuisine. Basking in Mediterranean warmth a short distance from the coast, Aix is a town that is always festive.
