亞維儂有兩個Tgv車站，這個離市區比較遠，要坐接駁車才能到，另一個就在市區。我們在這裡悠閒地照完相、逛完商店之後發現，我們的車怎麼沒有顯示在看板上！去問了車站人員以後，發現我們走錯車站了！！我們應該在市區的Tgv車站等車才對！！發現的時候離發車只剩30分鐘，我們只好趕緊衝向接駁車，等接駁車慢慢晃到市區之後，趕快推著兩個石頭般地行李衝向月台。幸好趕上了，不然要多花幾百歐才能回到巴黎吧～
This Avignon tramcar has just turned from reservation alongside the Avenue de la Croix Rouge to reservation alongside the Avenue du Roi Soleil.
Croix Rouge, "Red Cross," may refer to the "section du Bonnet-Rouge," also known as the "section de la Croix-Rouge;" "sections" were subdivisions of Paris during the Révolution. Croix Rouge may also refer to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and its institutions.
Roi Soleil, "Sun King," refers to Louis XIV of France (1638-1715), whose reign of more than 72 years is described as "the longest recorded of any monarch of a sovereign country in history."
(A well-known quotation attributed to Louis XIV - "L'état, c'est moi;" "I am the state" - was dismissed as apocryphal within a few decades after it was first reported.)

Avignon, a city in Provence in the south-east of France, is crossed by the Rhône. From 1309 to 1377, the Catholic popes took up residence in the city. It remained under papal rule until 1791, when it became part of France.
Are there reflections in this?
No - it's looking down almost vertically to the river from the Rocher des Doms park.
(The viewpoint is shown by the note on my photo Pont d'Avignon (1) in this set.)
