Avignon Festival

So when I visited Avignon a few weeks ago, it was a beautiful, peaceful, historical city that I immediately fell in love with. However, this time when I visited Avignon, it was like a completely different city. Thousands of people roaming the streets, every single wall  covered head to toe in posters and dozens of people singing and dancing on the street, all because of the annual Avignon Theatre Festival. Throughout the entire month of July, hundreds of shows are put on daily; with shops, cinemas and even churches converted into theatres. It was madness!
I browsed through the brochure, which gave me far too much choice of hundreds of shows daily, and found a handful of shows that I would have liked to see. However, Shakespeare and Hugo aren't exactly 'child-friendly' so I actually ended up taking the kids to see 'Kid Manoir 2', which was the most bizarre interactive show about a video game set in ancient Egypt. The kids seemed to find it absolutely hilarious but I just didn't get it...
