What a gorgeous place! I could easily spend a day wandering around there (minus the summer heat of course) Oh and you cannae beat a European food market!!!

@eileenmclean1274 Год назад

Why don't you team up and do this!!!😂😂😂

@jjsmallpiece9234 Год назад

Less the sea food counter though. The smell and sight of dead fish makes me want to gip. I struggle walking past the fish counter in my local Morrisons.

Great video. Loved at 50 seconds when in the background was a beautiful CV2 car. Highlighted the joy of France for me! Keep up the great work.

@AliceGoss Год назад

I visited nearly all the places you did. Superb city with so much history.

@danbulowski7013 8 месяцев назад

Great video, thanks mate. You did a great job covering most of the areas of Avignon in the short time you had!

@xix94 Год назад

Amazing video I love France

@Chronograph71 Год назад

Avignon is indeed known worldwide for the theatrical festival! The same way as Edinburgh... Thank you for the video.

I never forget having to learn that song at School, " Sur le pont D'Avignon l'on y danse"

@leosmoonfish2849 5 месяцев назад

Be there in 3 weeks . Can’t wait . Cheers great vid .

@ctm1602 Год назад

I remember that wee train being filled with jolly Rangers fans in April 93 pre Marsielles great city and very hospitable people .

@glenyshillary4195 Год назад

Been to avignon twice, absolutely gorgeous city.

@neilstafford7245 Год назад

Mt. Ventoux, I've climbed that on my bike and paid my respects at Tommy Simpsons' memorial, course I was about 40 years younger then.

@gabrielstevens3884 Год назад

loved this area. I too came for the day as I was staying in Nimes for a few days to see a couple of gigs at the nimes festival back in 2016. Avignon was busy but I loved it.

@christinecoates2499 Год назад

I adore Avignon. Had a wonderfyl holiday there a few years ago.

@DuncanBooth Год назад

We used to get the motorail down to Avignon each year and would arrive at the station before 7am with the car unloaded late morning so a walk up to the park on the hill behind the Palais was a highlight of early morning Avignon. Early morning is best for seeing scenery such as Mont Ventoux before it disappears in the haze as the heat gets up.

@paololagana8403 Год назад

Greetings Mr. Scott, you can’t have missed Marseille, I’m looking forward to that !

@lavieenfrance5175 11 месяцев назад

hi you miss the Palais d Pape! thanks for featuring Avignon! ❤🇨🇵

@DiggingNorway 6 месяцев назад

Lovely town!

@joannharrington2279 4 месяца назад

The food looks fabulous. I would consider not going during festival time. It gets too congested to get around the city. Don't mind the heat.

@g-r-a-e-m-e- Год назад

Very attractive place!

Enjoying your travels for long time now, wondered have you ever visited Wuppertal mono suspension railway...

@markb1971 Год назад

I love the sound of cicadas it reminds me of greece

@bobbarnett4926 Год назад

Popes Palace is a must-especially without crowds. Just dark history.

@jonron4729 Год назад

👍👍👍

@nickgiles7568 Год назад

Brilliant thank you. The Europeans do history so much better than the UK- the history is living and breathing.

@nobbyclarkster 10 месяцев назад

Scott did you cheat and fly down to Nimes? It’s a good train journey to London Euston, quick walk to St Pancras, Eurostar to Lille and overnight there. Next day train to Marseille or Montpellier (done both a few times) . The worst leg is the UK side!

@susanward398 11 месяцев назад

The huge building at about 12:00 is the Palace of the Popes. The French kings used their influence to move the Pope from Rome to Avignon from 1309-77 (a total of 7 popes during that time). Then, until 1417, they even tried a joint papacy in Rome and Avignon, and the palace housed two more "antipopes." So that's a really old building, but it seems to be in very good shape.

@Марта-й7е Год назад

Благодаря за видеоклипа. Авиньон е прекрасен, папският дворец няма аналог. Бях тази пролет и вятърът беше непоносимо силен. Ходех по моста над Рона вкопчила се с две ръце в перилата с риск да бъда издухана в реката. Това явление е типично за голяма част през годината - мистрала, но си е атракция. Самото име на града означава ветровито място. Мястото е невероятно, връщаш се векове назад в историята. Поздрав от България!

@josephturner7569 Год назад

I bet that is pretty much what wandering round ancient Rome or Pompeii was like. I would love to look inside those non descript town houses.

@history_leisure Год назад

Now do cheese and fish work well together?

@Withtheghostoftomjoad 3 месяца назад

The former popes palace was probably worth a mention?

@brigetoun 25 дней назад

juste après le festival... la rue des Teinturiers quelque jours plus tôt devait être pleine de piétons à ne plus pouvoir avancer - dommage... avant qu'on nettoie et que la ville reprenne sa vie (beaucoup d'Avignonais sont partis et les troupes et festivaliers s'en vont)

@buntybeau Год назад

Oh our Edinburgh castle looks a bit undersized in comparison !

@Alex-mp1zb 3 месяца назад

What about the Popes' Palace? That's what Avignon is famous for. You just walked past it but ignored it!

@dazlebluefrogify 6 месяцев назад

Oh scott how can you only call "le palais des papes" a cathedral it was where the popes lived in the 1300's cause of the unrest in italy ,i love that city and go down 4/5 times a year it's only an hour south of where i live on the train,i've spend the night there and when it's all lit up its stunning ,you need to come back to france i have a few treasures i know you'd love in my Drôme département and the ardeche across the Rhône river from me and of course you'd love a city an hour north from me could i possible drop you a message somewhere ?wouldn't want to give away maybe some of you future trips

Walk With Tim?

@MrCobo04 Год назад

een a long time since i visited Avignon. thanks for being back a log of memories, apart from the shops. not a lot else has really changed. although having severe (like fatal) intollerences to Lactose, egg and Soya, there wasn't a lot and often nothing i could eat. Rome was much the same.

@hw7029 6 месяцев назад

There are international food options in Avignon now..eg sushi, lebanese food

@kriskantu Год назад

You did not visit the royal fortress of the French king on the other side of the river. By comparison, we could see how powerful and wealthy the catholic church was at the time.

I was there a couple of weeks ago...Superb Festival....All French festivals and musical events are so laid back .........Oh ...Toujours Mange Bien en France...Miam Miam.......

@anianoenrique2115 Год назад

Looks beautiful. Definitely worthy of a visit.

@josephturner7569 Год назад

Last time someone decided to drive through my local marche he was hoiked out his car, handcuffed and held at gun point by the gendarmerie. There were pictures on our local FB page.

@raphaelklijn6358 Год назад

Great video. What a lovely city. Definitely want to go to that part of France soon.

@derekevans1932 Год назад

Thank you Scott. Reminded me of our visit many years ago when we travelled there on Eurostar direct from the then London terminus of Waterloo. Stayed in a fantasitic small hotel in the city for what was basically a long weekend away. Those were the days my friend!!

@MummyJilly Год назад

Fabulous to see Ventoux! Does it, like me, make you think of Tom Simpson?

@daphne8406 Год назад

I did not realize Avignon was quite so pretty. Those cicadas sure make a lot of noise! It looks (and sounds) so nice and warm 😌 Here in southern Norway all we got since July is storm and rain every day….15C😑 I really wish for some sun and warmth before winter sets in again 😅

@vivianhughes9347 Год назад

Wow - just look at the selection of lovely fresh food! Rather puts our supermarkets to shame in the UK Not even fresh food counters at Sainsburys anymore. They certainly know how to live in Europe! Thank you for bringing us with you. Your videos are always great.

@clnre Год назад

I visited Avignon in May and like you only scratched the surface, spent too much time in the Palais des Papes. Oh and I had to pay an entrance fee to go on the bridge! Thanks for posting the video and giving me the opportunity to see what I had missed, I must to go back some day.

Last time we were there it was over 40 deg C. Aircon on our 200 mile journey home failed ,was horrendous. French coach driver nearly passed out !!!

@ghuntman77773 Год назад

What an amazing set of videos. ‘Only the French would think nothing of driving through a crowd of people’. Hope you were staying in these unbelievable temps. I admit have barely visited France unlike Germany. Must add Nimes to Paris
