Avignon

We left Stockholm and flew into Geneva for an overnight and then a 6.40am train to Avignon. This picture from the air isn’t the airport in Geneva but a highway that disappears into the mountain:

Next morning we arrived in Avignon, got our rental car and dropped off our bags at our hotel before setting off to take the kids to their sport+French camp at Gréoux-Les-Bain. Stopped off for a bite in Aix-en-Provence and even the local cafe makes their own foie-gras:

A couple of hours from Avignon, the camp is in rural Provence:

A couple of hours back to Avignon and we settled in to our first gourmet meal in France at the hotel restaurant:
