Last weekend, the spring bank holiday weekend, we had an archaeologically and historically themed visit to Hadrian's Wall with some LJ friends. I ought to post some photographs of that, but we only returned on Tuesday evening and I haven't had the time to even download them from the camera, never mind sort them into labelled folders. Instead, therefore, we resume our tour of the Palais des Papes in Avignon, first with a couple of images of the Cour d'Honneur, a courtyard formed by the construction of the New Palace (on the south and west sides of the square) next to the Old Palace (on the east and north sides); then of the Cloister, the central square of the Old Palace; and concluding with the Grand Tinel and the Chambre des Notaires, respectively the banqueting and the audience chambers. (In theory, you're not permitted to take photographs of the interiors of the Palais, but you can take photographs of the exteriors, which include the courtyards and the cloister. In practice, this means everyone takes their cameras around with them and the interiors are photographed by default....when you're sure that the guards aren't looking, even though they're too few in number to properly police the photography rules.) Tomorrow: views from the roof!
