法國古城古堡之Avignon!!!

During beginning of tis year when our yacht was dry dock in La Ciotat. Stephen and myself grab tis opportunity to go to one of the oldest castle in France - Avignon. It's much more nearer to go from here instead of Nice. Without further a due, we were planned to go at one of the weekend for excursion.
Early in the morning, we took train to Marseille for transit.
Just took a shot outside Train Station of Marseille while we were waiting for transit!!!
