TdF Day 25 - Orange and Avignon

Team Etho was off to an earlier start, keen to use reasonable weather while it lasts. We drove north to Orange to mainly see the best preserved Roman Theatre in the world. It is an incredible space that is still used today for opera and theatre. The town was also good for a wander, and we also managed one of the best lunches at restaurant Le Parvis. The food was a touch of class, as was the service for a very reasonable price.
We then drove back down to Avignon to look at the Palace of the Popes. A very interesting self-guided tour of a bit of 14th century history. I'll see your Pope and raise you one!
