Colloque "Travail et création artistique en régime numérique", Avignon, 24-27/05/11. Dominique Cardon, André Gunthert (photo: Estelle Blaschke).
The Avignon City Walls are a series of defensive stone walls that surround the city.
They were originally built in the 14th century during the Avignon papacy and have been continually rebuilt and repaired throughout their subsequent history.
The walls replaced an earlier double set of defensive walls that had been completed in the first two decades of the 13th century.
In 1309 Pope Clement V moved to Avignon and under the papacy the town expanded outside the limits of the earlier city walls. From the 1350s during the Hundred Years' War the town became vulnerable to pillage by marauding bands of mercenaries and in 1357 under Innocent VI, the fifth Avignon pope, work began on the construction of new set of city walls to enclose the expanded town. The walls took nearly 20 years to complete.
The walls stretch for 2.7 miles.
There were originally twelve gates controlling access to the city but this number was reduced to seven when the fortifications were modified between 1481 and 1487. There are now 15 vehicular entrances and 11 pedestrian entrances.

De 1309 a 1377, sete papas franceses se sucederam em Avignon, para grande desgosto de Roma.
Os Sumos Pontífices viveram a boa vida em seu palácio e foram invejados por todos.
Hoje, o palácio abriga os eventos "In" do Festival d'Avignon, enquanto o "Off" acontece dentro das muralhas.
A excepcional riqueza arquitetônica de Avignon foi reconhecida em 1995 com a nomeação do Palais des Papes e Pont Saint Bénézet como Patrimônio Mundial da Unesco.

Avignon is a classically beautiful town, the train station however reminded me of a set from Logans Run.
There was so little color is my shots of Avignon because of the dark and cloudy day that I just went ahead and made them completely black and white. I think the B&W does something to capture the strength of the structures.
There was a bit of a cool wind but we had a huge terrace, wrapped round three sides of the apartment, looking over the city walls. Parking was on the ground floor, not too tight for our hired Kuga.

FESTIVAL d'AVIGNON : Présentation
S’il n’y a rien d’exceptionnel, qu’avons-nous à partager ?
Sans virtuosité, sans tourner sur la tête, sans style magnifique et sans sortir les grands mots, qu’est-ce qui fait danse, et de quoi parle-t-on ?
Balkis Moutashar, chorégraphe et danseuse, invite Lucie Rico, autrice, pour un duo mêlant les mots aux mouvements. Un duo fait de gestes discrets, de petites modulations et de légers arrangements, à la recherche de la saveur particulière d’une certaine simplicité, et de ce qui se joue en dessous de l’extraordinaire, du prodigieux, du remarquable ou du supérieur.
