On Saturday morning 25-Oct we got a unexpectedly early exit from Le Phenecien — when we thought that we could sleep in because we were staying local — and then checked into the Hotel de L’Horlodge located in Avignon’s city center.  We had the day to explore the city and Jessie headed us over to Rue des Tenturiers (Ave of the Dyers) where we had a great lunch seated by the small canal that parallels the pedestrian walkway.

For dinner we decided to check out one of the restaurants that line the large central square, Place de L’Horloge.  I had a paella dish that was pitiful, so I recommend looking beyond this tourist trap for the better restaurants.
