Our group of six people joined Jean Marc and his lovely wife, Alice, for an incredible day of cooking, eating, and immersion into Provencal cuisine. They are the consummate hosts. And, Jean Marc is a gifted chef and, more importantly, gifted teacher. From coffee and cookies just out of the oven, to the tour of the local Farmers' Co-op, to the preparation of each course, to tips on spices, herbs, meal presentation, feasting (with wine pairings for each course), and conversation, this was a day that we will all remember. It was THE HIGHLIGHT of our two weeks in France!

After going through some of Avignon's other sites, you finally reached the highlight - the Pope's Palace. The palace, built between 1335 and 1352, is the largest Gothic palace in the world.

This important site entered the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1995. As part of your visit to the Pope's Palace, you can tour more than 25 rooms open to the public.

The Petit Palais in Avignon was built during the period of the Avignon Papacy by Cardinal Berenger Fredoli the Elder in around 1318–20 and in 1335 became the Archbishop's Palace. The interior today is much as it was then and houses an impressive collection of religious art from Romanesque to Renaissance, including a Virgin and Child by Botticelli. In an interesting initiative, each year the Parcours de l'Art and the Petit Palais museum allow an artist to show works that interact with the museum's art collections. For 2019, Ernst Günther Herrmann has placed his metal sculptures in various rooms of the museum, next to sculptures and paintings of the from the 12th to the 15th centuries. A great initiative which purists will hate, but is a means of connecting across the centuries.
