Although I'm not particularly religious, I did find Le Palais des Papes in Avignon completely fascinating. The beautiful palace is steeped in history, with it being the home to the Pope during the 14th Century. I put my history A Level to good use and set out to explore the palace, listening on my headset to all the facts about this wonderful building.

I then went to explore the rest of this walled city, visiting Notre Dame des Doms (the cathedral), Place Pie (where I tucked into a delicious crêpe au nutella) and also, Rue de la République: the main shopping street! I then ditched all of the culture and spent the rest of my afternoon wandering around the shops - where I belong!
