Rue Franche

Just a simple street in the old city centre, quiet, narrow, out of the way and hard to find. I particularly like this street for its two red ochre facades, a rare colour in Avignon.

Juste une petite rue du centre ville, étroite, tranquille et discrète. J'aime particulièrement cette rue pour ses deux façades rouges, une couleur rare à Avignon.

  1. As I walk down streets like that in Avignon and elsewhere, I wonder how people get their cars in the garage in that narrow street.

  3. So European. The closest we have are the alleys of some cities, but they are lined with garages behind the houses. I like the water drain down the center.

  6. This color in the narrow quiet street is divine... There appears to be a garage but I wonder if a car could manage the street and a turn!

  8. Yes lots of people actually manage to park their cars in these garages - they usually chose smallish cars and get really good at manoeuvering!
