Avignon in July is a joyous place
but not for the faint-hearted.
It is full of festival enthusiasts
receptive to every new experience.
Every surface covered with posters;
Every café table is full.
If you go down the narrow side-streets
you might find an impromptu wind quintet
or perhaps somebody ironing.
Take care not be run over by a van with a piano
Or distracted by a man in a sheet.
There are artistic possibilities everywhere.
Me?
I am tempted by the Tragedy of the Broad Beans...
I hate Broad Beans.

Wacky! What a feast for the eyes. I loved all of these pictures -- you must have had a blast with all of the great photo opps!
So much to photograph! The ironing photo cracked me up!!
The man in the sheet looks particularly well-pressed. Do you think he stopped by the woman with the ironing board on the way?
Love the outdoor ironing! Not sure where I would plug it in though. Also thinking the 'Tragedy of the Broad Beans' would be a fab headliner for the next allotment social! K x
Check out the under-card to the "Bye Bye to the Broad Beans" one.
Vingt-quatre heures sounds like a short lived phenomenon
If ever I iron in the street people will know I have finally lost my mind!
Broad beans deserve everything they get!
It's the end! The end of the broad beans!
they're all has-beans !!
"boom, boom" as Basil Brush would say !
These are some fantastic sights you have shown us.
I miss Europe.
BC just celebrated it's 150th birthday - we are just babies.
How fantastic! I want to go, too!
Great photographic tour. Where was the power source for the iron?
Try peeling broad beans after they are cooked add a little butter and just eat the green inside - YUM!
I KNEW your photographic tour would be wonderful.
I did get a little bit distracted by some of the handbags being carried though!
