Just before Easter 2017, John and Di ventured to the South of France to do the ‘recce’ of the Hostel we will be staying at and various potential concert venues, and other places to visit at the end of July.

All is looking good, with some lovely concert venues to perform in. As well as spending time in Avignon (with the famous bridge), we hope to be visiting Nimes, Cassis (on the coast), Isle-sur- la-Sorgue and the Carmargue.

The Hostel has a good sized swimming pool, which will be great for a refreshing dip as it is likely to be hot at that time of year.

It has wonderful views over the river Rhone, and old parts of the town of Avignon.
