"À" or "en" Avignon? -
Salut à tou.tet.s,
Needless to introduce the widely famous Avignon bridge on which generations of people have danced in circular motion. But Avignon is much more than that. Taking advantage of its geographical position on the river Rhône, it was over the centuries a prosperous commercial city, and a papal center in France. And nowadays, located on the same train line between Paris, Lyon and Marseille, it also hosts the biggest theater festival in the world.
