Places to see in ( Avignon - France ) Rue de la Republique
The Republic Street is the largest of the three main streets of Avignon breakthrough intramural during the xix th century , the other two being the Thiers Street and the Boulevard Raspail. She had been foreshadowed by a project of Pierre II Mignard in the 1680s, which proposed the drilling of a straight road to Place de l'Horloge at the Porte Saint-Michel. But in the xix th century , the privileged direct access was one of the new railway station, commissioned to Paris on June 24 , 1853.
The realization of this new artery was done in three successive phases between 1856 and 1867 . This was the work of the municipality presided over by Paul Pamard ( 1853 - 1865 ). The first section was started in 1856, opposite the new station to the current rue Joseph-Vernet , then called rue de la Calade. This section was raised and leveled to put it out of reach of the floods of the Durance and the Rhone . The works, which had required the opening of a breach in the ramparts of the city were completed in 1857.
The second building site was opened between rue Joseph-Vernet and the Lycée chapel. In 1859 , the expropriations were completed and the pavement was completed in 1863. The execution of the third section was voted in city council on September 30 , 1863. Going from the High School chapel to the Clock Square, it was the most important. It was completed in 1867.
This artery, which owed its name to an inn with the sign of Saint-Marc, connected the Place de l'Horloge, seat of the Grand Bouquerie (butcher shop) at the house of Queen Jeanne, today Saint-Martial Temple. At this place, near Saint-Martial, it had been renamed rue de la Servellerie since 1363 at least. Ovens there had been started by an inn in the second half of the xiv th century . They were thought to have become a place of debauchery a century later. But they continued to be offered since during the xvi th century , hotel and baths placed themselves under the banner of lying Madeleine.
Drilled on a wider plane than the rest of the project, with vast sidewalks planted with plane trees, this section was the first completed. Its market street of Calade led the demolition of modern buildings of the convent of Saint-Martial, which were raised and re bent at right angles to track new alignments. Called initially rue Bonaparte, this part took the name of Cours after the drilling of the other narrower sections. At the fall of the Second Empire , it was renamed Cours de la République , then, to distinguish it from the street of the Republic that follows, Cours Petrarque . This denomination remained its until the aftermath of the First World War where it took the current one.

Avignon - France-day 1C
Exploring on foot the Old Town of Avignon, main city of Provence in the south of France.
Enter the Porte du Rhône gate through the town wall then turn right at Rue Grande Fusterie, with some of its picturesque old houses from the 15th century.
At the end, turn right, then left to Place Crillon, site of an excellent hotel you might consider for your visit, Hotel d'Europe. This is four-star deluxe but has some moderately-priced rooms, especially in the off-season.
With many fine hotels in all price ranges, and strategic location, Avignon makes an excellent home base for visiting this Provençal region. Another hotel you might consider is the Mercure. It's right in the heart of town just between the bridge in the main square and it's a very comfortable three star hotel - part of the vast Accor chain of French hotels, and we found it was a very nice place. Very clean, very modern very friendly.
Stroll one block over to Rue Joseph Vernet, perhaps the prettiest street in town, lined with lovely shops, galleries and restaurants. This street is really at its best late in the day and early twilight - when you have that magical combination of streetlights, shop fronts, busy people out walking and lingering twilight in the sky. It's good . The shops stay open throughout the day, although some close in the midafternoon for a brief siesta - we're still in the south of Europe, after all. And at night stays quite lively. It's very safe spot - 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock at night, because the shop will be closed, usually by about 8 o'clock, but the restaurants, cafés and bars are open, so to be sure to pay several visits to this wonderful Rue Joseph Vernet.
Be sure to walk a few blocks up and down Rue St. Agricol, a classic side-street which offers a similar environment of pleasant shops and leads to the main square of town, Place de l'Horloge. Notice how they have iron posts to protect the pedestrians from the automobiles, because this busy street is open to traffic, and yet remains very safe because of the design. There is a rich variety of types of shops here and throught the town center.
Next, walk over to the busy main street of town, Rue de la République, where you will find the Tourist Information Office, and really the main collection of shops and people. Be sure to visit this information office and get their free Welcome to Avignon brochure with descriptions of the major sites and an extremely useful map that provides four walking routes to follow while you are exploring the city. The tourist bureau has put colored arrows on the sidewalks coordinated with the map to help keep you on track.

Avignon dusk-dawn
Have a look at Avignon at night time, just after sunset, and then continue on and take a stroll at sunrise, dusk and dawn together. Enter through the gates of the old town, through the medieval fortified wall, passing the Hotel d'Europe, a beautiful place to stay -- a four-star property right in the heart of the old town. Continue up Rue Joseph Vernet, one of the main shopping streets, on to the Rue de la Republique. This is the busiest street of town, and in the evening the side streets are also lovely, such as Rue des Teinturiers. It's the old street with the paddle wheels that powered dying industry for the tinters, 200 years ago. It's very safe to walk around in these little streets in evening. Of course you want to take normal precautions -- you don't walk around with lots of money, and you want just to watch out for yourself, but you don't have to worry, feel free to stroll in the evening, it's perfectly fine. The main street stays busy right through the evening. Most shops will be closing by 8 PM but on the Rue de la Republique they are going to be open late. In the morning you might get up before breakfast and take a stroll, sure why not. There's a special lighting at that time. There are not many people out 6:30 or 7:00 o'clock in the morning -- it feels like you can have the city almost yourself. It's certainly good way to escape the crowds, if that's your interest. Take a sunrise stroll in these little back streets.
Obviously shops are not open at this hour, but you will find a few markets opening up already at sunrise and you'll run into the odd cafés serving little coffee to help wake you up on your early morning stroll. It's a very peaceful time of day -- people are out walking their dogs, you might hear some birds chirping, a few cars are out, but by and large even on the main street on the Rue de la Republique, there's really not much going on. It's pretty empty. Well you've worked up an appetite anyway, and perhaps it is a good time to head on back over your hotel for breakfast.
Avignon in Provence, France
Home to nine popes during the 14th century and one of the most beautiful cities in France today, Avignon is a treasure house of palaces, museums and meandering lanes, surrounded by an old fortified wall that still protects it from modernization. This city in the heart of beautiful Provence lays claim to dozens of historic monuments, especially the great Palace of the Popes which was gradually enlarged into an imposing fortification during the 60-year papal residency and is now a museum open to the public.
Stroll over to Rue Joseph Vernet, perhaps the prettiest street in town, lined with lovely shops, galleries and restaurants. Detour a few blocks up and down Rue St. Agricol, which offers a similar environment of pleasant shops and leads to the main square of town, Place de lHorloge.
Continue with a stroll along the main street of Avignon, Rue de la République, which extends through the center from the train station nearly to the Popes Palace in a straight line about a mile long. Look for one of the most picturesque streets in town, Rue des Teinturiers, the street of the tinters. Several ancient water wheels along this cobbled lane are still turning, pushed along by a quaint little, tree-lined canal. The wheels were once used to provide power for the manufacturing and dyeing of textiles. Now this is a trendy street, with cafes, boutiques and a small theater, a mere ten-minute walk from the town center.

A Walk Up Rue de Liberte', Dijon, France
The Rue de la Liberté is the main street in the historic center of the French city Dijon. It connects the Place Darcy to the Place de la Libération. This busy shopping street for pedestrians is lined with buildings mostly dating from the 15th century to the 18th century, which are classified as monuments historiques.
The Rue de la Liberté was named Rue de Condé before the French Revolution. A part of the street, from the Coin du Miroir to the Place d'Armes (now Place de la Libération), was drilled in 1724. Previously, the street included the Rue des Forges and reached the back of the Palais des Ducs. The name Coin du Miroir is linked to a hotel in the old Rue Saint-Jean at the corner of the streets Guillaume and Gondrans and which belonged to the Abbaye Notre-Dame du Miroir. This hotel, composed of a square tower which displays on its first floor large ogival openings in the wall, crenellated and surrounded by ditches, was demolished in 1767
Avignon - France-day 2A
Avignon's Old Town is a charming neighborhood of shopping lanes, narrow residential streets and little back alleys, perfect for strolling. Some of these routes are exclusively for pedestrians, especially in the shopping center just southeast of Place de l'Horloge. It is like one big shopping mall.
This historic center can easily be seen on foot in one day, for it is a compact zone about one-half mile wide and long. The curved shape of these streets will keep you guessing what's around the bend, or which museum or monument is coming up next. Streets are level, riddled with little plazas, fountains, trees, some benches, and numerous cafes.
While this neighborhood is very old, the shops and galleries are up-to-date with modern interiors and contemporary European items for sale.
Have a look at the walking map you picked up already at the Tourist Information Office, or if you didn't get one yet, start by visiting that office on the lower section of Rue de la République and get one. This free map is one of the better travel brochures you will ever come across.
Start in the main square, Place de l'Horloge, where you can enjoy the beautiful neoclassical façade of the Town Hall and colorful swirl of the Carousel, with dozens of people ambling by even at this early hour.
Walk to the south end of the square and turn east into the pedestrian-only neighborhood for a little meandering. At first this walking zone will seem vast and disorienting, There's a lot of tangled twisted corners and angles. There are no straight roads in here - they are curved, or bent, or have sharp angles...but this is actually just a few blocks of lovely shops that you would enjoy again later in the afternoon for some serious browsing.
Find your way to Rue des Marchands and then past the Synagogue to Place Pie, a relatively large, tree-lined square surrounded by quaint buildings and cafes. Pass through the indoor food market, Les Halles, emerging on the south end at Rue Bonneterie, which turns into one of the most picturesque streets in town, Rue des Teinturiers, the street of the tinters. Several ancient water wheels along this cobbled lane are still turning, pushed along by a quaint little, tree-lined canal. The wheels were once used to provide power for the manufacturing and dyeing of textiles, and a few other industrial applications. It was the beginnings of the industrial age.
Now this is a trendy street, with cafes, boutiques and a small theater, a mere ten-minute walk from the town center. You might want to come back again for another look at twilight when it takes on a different atmosphere....we continue with more...

Avignon - France-Calvet Museum
One of Avignon's major museums is Le Musée Calvet, located in the lower section of Rue Joseph Vernet. It is set in a magnificent 18th-century mansion with collections of fine art and decorative pieces from the 15th through the 20th centuries. There are many excellent paintings here representing most of the important periods of art history. One of the most popular paintings is the large, colorful canvas by Jan Bruegel the Elder, a typical work featuring a busy village scene with lots of different activities going on.
An archaeological branch of this museum, called Le Musée Lapidaire, displays sculpture from ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt inside the chapel of a former Jesuit church, at 27 Rue de la République, a few blocks away. You can stand in the front door and peek at the stone carvings and decorative arts before deciding whether to pay for a closer look.
Paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries are on display at another excellent, small museum, Le Musée Angladon, with masterpieces by Degas, Manet, Sisley, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Picasso and Modigliani, among others.
