Avignon, France Day 2

Today we went to see a large bridge and aqueduct, created during the Great Roman Empire – or more than 2,000 years ago! The aqueduct is called Pont du Gard and is located at a very scenic spot, surrounded by trees, rocks and a river.  After hiking around for a while we held a nice picnic by the bus.

We were then taken back to Avignon where the students could see the pope’s palace among other historical sights.

Dinner was held at the hostel, and afterwards the students were in for a treat. Since we are in Champagne country the guides thought that the students deserved some bubbles – Kid’s Champagne to be exact, which was a huge success. After dinner the students were off on their own for the rest of the evening – tomorrow we leave for Paris!
