Day 3 Beaune to Avignon.
The day is cloudy and drizzly, so we decided to punch out the nearly 400 km to Avignon. The roads are a lot busier today being a Monday. So many trucks. Got to Avignon around 1pm and checked into our quite nice hotel in a beautiful tree lined boulevard which is with an easy walk to main tourist area. Got to park the bike in the hotel basement so its very snug and secure. The weather has changed for the better, lovely sunshine and temp in the low 20's, hooray. Strolled up to the main tourist area, the main attraction is le Palais des Papes which is very impressive. The Papal Palace was the seat of the Christian world in the 14th century and was home to 9 Popes. A world heritage site and we had an awesome little IPad thingy which showed what each room was decorated like back in the day. Surprise bonus was discount for the over 60's, I knew there would be advantages to aging.
