When last we saw our hero, he was still enjoying France. And I really, really enjoyed France! Paris has a scale that’s very human, thanks in no small part to the self-imposed building height restrictions that affect almost all of the Parisian arrondisements.

Bonjour a Avignon! Today is our penultimate day in France. We wake to a sunny (and still quite breezy) Avignon, which is going to see us do some power shopping this morning, then a quick visit to Pont d’Avignon (the famous ruined bridge). After that, we head back to Paris on the TGV, and fly …
