May 30: around Avignon 4
The last part of my Avignon exploration brought me through the extra-dense heart of the old city.

A dynamic composition of panels at the southwest corner of Rue Thiers and Rue Philonarde.
8607

Mysterious light along Rue Four de la Terre as seen from Rue Thiers.
8609

This car off Rue Amphoux reminds me a bit of a crouching spider, partly due to its multi headlights.
8611

On Rue Bonneterie, an odd building geometry hove into view...
8612

...it's an enormous slice out of the corner of this building at Rue Artaud! Much bigger than any I'd seen in the Engadin, and with its own door and window no less.
8618

Now back at Les Halles; this is the more demure west side, along Rue Petite Meuse.
8621

Continuing on Bonneterie past Les Halles into some different paving...
8629

...whoa, I guess so!! This is looking south on Rue des Fourbisseurs across Rue Bonneterie.
8636

The shop streets in this core area all have this fantastic paving; it's basically a neighborhood-sized artwork. This is the Place du Changé, at Rue Rouge and Rue Rappe.
8637

Diagonal pavers leading between the jagged edges of Rue Rappe from the Place du Changé. Also interesting to keep seeing these metal expansion joints in the middle of the street.
8647

Probably along Rue des Faucons, a most curvilinear of fountains.
8649

Back to the Place des Cours Saints near the hotel, with the Église des Célestins behind the sycamores.
8652

And then back to the hotel (can you read the sign?) to gather my belongings and head back to the Gare to depart for Spain.
8656

Emerging into the trainshed under the openwork roof.
