This happened in Nimes and Avignon. Climbing on the steps of the old areena, 180 BC, with an audioguide telling stories of the gladiator fights, and after that getting absorbed in the historic museum of Nimes.
In Avignon the medieval times were present in the huge palace of the popes. French king moved the pope to Avignon early 1300 and towards the end of the century there were even popes both at Avignon and Rome at the same time. This palace makes you think the great power of the catholic church and its riches and the politics.
Our home base was in Avignon for three nights. We staid at the Ibis budget hotel. Although the rooms are very simple, but the bed and breakfast are good, and those are the only ones we need as we are moving around whole day.
