Avignon was a lovely city to visit--historical significance combined with modern elegance. The Pope's Palace was a fortress and residence for nine popes in the 13th and 14th centuries. Students explored multiple levels of the stone edifice and saw views of the city from the upper turrets. Lunch was another opportunity to experience French delicacies, including freshly made crepes with Nutella. Who knew if you have nut allergies you shouldn't eat something called "nut"ella. Fortunately, pharmacies with green neon blinking signs are easy to find and Benadryl is an international brand.
Lyon was a three-hour drive north. Each 'road trip' has been another chance to purchase Orangina, Milka chocolate, and French McDonald's!
Lyon is famous for silk and French gastronomy. Bouchons are the dining establishments home to many renowned chefs. (i.e. Lyonnaise) Because this is central France, many distinctive tastes come together here. (Now we understand why McDonald's is so popular! ;)
Dinner was at Flam's, a German-style pizza. The picture below shows their "veggie" option.
The music video is also taking shape--but that will have to wait until after we return. And a final note: McDonalds in France is not really 'fast' food in Europe...Au revoir!
