For our first excursion day, which will happen each Friday, we went to Avignon. There we explored the Palais des Papes one of the largest medieval gothic buildings in Europe that housed many of the Popes starting in the late 1300s. It is now home to the Avignon Theatre Festival during the month of July each year as well as open to the public for visiting and viewing 20 of the rooms inside the palace. While I loved the guided tour what I really wanted to do was sneak off into one of the many hidden passages and secret doors found throughout the palace. Unfortunately I abided by the rules and have nothing exciting to report in terms of buried treasure.
