We stopped in Avignon (population approximately 92,000) for a walk around the town before heading to Monaco.
Above photo is the Papal Palace , one of the largest and most important medieval Gothic buildings in Europe. Isn’t the architecture wonderful?

We were not in Avignon very long and then to Monaco (population approximately 39,000). We stayed in a hotel on the French Riviera for the night so we were able to see a few things in this area. We also saw the road where the famous Grand Prix car race is held because we drove on it ! I took photos out of the bus window.
