Places to see in ( Avignon - France ) Avignon Les Halles
The Halles d'Avignon are a gigantic Provencal market , meeting place for more than a century of the inhabitants of the historic center of Avignon . Their fame has been consecrated by such authors as Peter Mayle or Jean Viard . In addition their north facade, on 600 m 2 is covered with a green wall designed by Patrick Blanc , its originality makes it one of the poles of attraction of the city of the popes.
In 1562 , the name Parpaille was put to death as a heretic and his house, located in downtown Avignon, shaved. On this land was planned to build a covered market and wooden barracks to house the pack animals bringing supplies to the market. This site was then called up Pie, named Pius V , the reigning Pope in Rome. This first building was slow to build since on a map of the city of Avignon, in 1618 , appears the colonnade of this hall under construction. This one was finished in 1624 , it included, besides the shops, a body of guard and a chapel.
The rue du Vieux-Sextier was opened between 1749 and 1754 by Jean-Baptiste Franque . The idea of the architect Avignonnais was to constitute in this new artery, overlooking the Place Pie, a large city supply center with butcher, fish shop and triperie. In n o 22, the front of the butchery has only survived with its ornamentation of cattle heads and Ovidae. The other two stores, which stood opposite this one, disappeared after having remained in use until the opening of the current Halles.
Between 1760 and 1764 , on the plans of Jean-Baptiste Franque , his son undertook the construction of a new hall which was demolished under the Second Empire . A painting by Pierre Grivolas , painted in 1868 and exhibited at the Calvet Museum , shows the open-air market that was being held on Place Pie. The 40 merchants of Les Halles offer bread, cheese, fruit, vegetables, poultry, pastries, delicatessen, olives, shellfish, flowers, organic and exotic products. Whether they are butchers, delicatessens, fishmongers, creamer, caterer or wine merchant, their stands is the rendezvous of the inhabitants of Avignon who meet there during the week of Tuesday to Sunday.
This achievement was wanted by the city of Avignon as part of its project to rehabilitate the vile center and entrusted to the botanist Patrick Blanc . In 2005 , he designed a 30 meters by 11.50 meters high plant wall on the north façade of les Halles. It is a composition that assembles twenty plants per square meter and which is enhanced with multicolored flowers. The designer explains On a load-bearing wall or a supporting structure is placed a metal frame that supports a 10 mm expanded PVC sheet. thickness, on which are stapled two layers of polyamide felt 3 mm thick each. These layers of felt melt somehow mosseswhich develop on the rocky walls and which support the roots of many plants. A network of pipes controlled by solenoid valves provides a nutritive solution containing the dissolved mineral elements necessary for the growth of plants. The felt is impregnated by capillarity of this nutritive solution, which descends along the wall by gravity. The roots of plants take the nutrients they need, and the excess water is collected down the wall by a gutter, before being reinjected into the network of pipes: the system works in a closed circuit. Plants are selected for their ability to grow on this medium and depending on the available light

Avignon - France-day 2A
Avignon's Old Town is a charming neighborhood of shopping lanes, narrow residential streets and little back alleys, perfect for strolling. Some of these routes are exclusively for pedestrians, especially in the shopping center just southeast of Place de l'Horloge. It is like one big shopping mall.
This historic center can easily be seen on foot in one day, for it is a compact zone about one-half mile wide and long. The curved shape of these streets will keep you guessing what's around the bend, or which museum or monument is coming up next. Streets are level, riddled with little plazas, fountains, trees, some benches, and numerous cafes.
While this neighborhood is very old, the shops and galleries are up-to-date with modern interiors and contemporary European items for sale.
Have a look at the walking map you picked up already at the Tourist Information Office, or if you didn't get one yet, start by visiting that office on the lower section of Rue de la République and get one. This free map is one of the better travel brochures you will ever come across.
Start in the main square, Place de l'Horloge, where you can enjoy the beautiful neoclassical façade of the Town Hall and colorful swirl of the Carousel, with dozens of people ambling by even at this early hour.
Walk to the south end of the square and turn east into the pedestrian-only neighborhood for a little meandering. At first this walking zone will seem vast and disorienting, There's a lot of tangled twisted corners and angles. There are no straight roads in here - they are curved, or bent, or have sharp angles...but this is actually just a few blocks of lovely shops that you would enjoy again later in the afternoon for some serious browsing.
Find your way to Rue des Marchands and then past the Synagogue to Place Pie, a relatively large, tree-lined square surrounded by quaint buildings and cafes. Pass through the indoor food market, Les Halles, emerging on the south end at Rue Bonneterie, which turns into one of the most picturesque streets in town, Rue des Teinturiers, the street of the tinters. Several ancient water wheels along this cobbled lane are still turning, pushed along by a quaint little, tree-lined canal. The wheels were once used to provide power for the manufacturing and dyeing of textiles, and a few other industrial applications. It was the beginnings of the industrial age.
Now this is a trendy street, with cafes, boutiques and a small theater, a mere ten-minute walk from the town center. You might want to come back again for another look at twilight when it takes on a different atmosphere....we continue with more...

Alain Timàr - Metteur en Scène et directeur Théâtre des Halles (Avignon)
Rencontre avec Alain Timàr, dans la cour de son théâtre, le Théâtre des Halles en Avignon. Directeur, metteur en scène, et scénographe, rencontre avec un homme de théâtre passionné par la création et la créativité.
L’une des Scènes permanente d’Avignon située dans un ancien cloître, le Théâtre des Halles compte une soixantaine de levers de rideaux, hors saison au Festival d’Avignon. Une programmation choisie au fur et à mesure des rencontres de spectacles suscitées par sa curiosité, sa sensibilité émotionnelle et artistique. Une ligne théâtrale qui correspond essentiellement au contemporain.
Dans un état d’esprit de curiosités, d’une ligne artistique très singulière qui laisse place en priorité à la création, le Théâtre des Halles s’implique à une mission de théâtre public : aide aux compagnies, aux artistes, découvertes de talents, mettent parfois à l’épreuve la prise de risques.
Mission qui à pour but d’ « essayer de rendre le public le plus curieux possible » grâce à une programmation essentiellement influencée par des phénomènes de Société, avec une approche sensible pour arriver « à faire que les oeuvres les plus difficiles puissent d’un seul coup passer la rampe. »
De son autre casquette d’artiste, Alain Timàr souvent à l’étranger pour présenter ses mises en scène, sera pour la première fois au coeur d’une oeuvre opératique : Le Dialogue des Carmélites (Francis Poulenc), que l’on pourra découvrir en début d’année prochaine à l’Opéra Confluence, dans sa ville de coeur : Avignon.
