Not far from where the River Rhone reaches its final destiny in the French Mediterranean Sea is the famous historic town of Avignon with its famous language schools. Who has not heard of the French song 'Sur le Pont d'Avignon'? In the 14th century, Avignon became the seat of the Pope, and remained so for almost seventy years. The Pope's Palace, a mediaeval fortress, still remains and is well worth a visit.  Every summer, Avignon comes alive with the Festival of Arts. Thousands of visitors from all over the globe come to watch theatre performances here. In 2000 it was selected as European City of Culture and it certainly lives up to its name. During your time off from the language school studies, take a seat and watch the theatre of the street life!

Not only a seat of theatre and theology, Avignon is also a gourmet's delight, with its chocolate specialities and unique liqueur said to be made from sixty herbs. Test the new words you have learnt at the language school on all those names!
