The village lies about 3 kilometres to the east of the Rhône and 12 kilometres north of the town of Avignon. In the 2012 census the commune had a population of 2,179.

None of the subsequent Avignon popes stayed in Châteauneuf but after the schism of 1378 the antipope Clement VII sought the security of the castle. With the departure of the popes the castle passed to the archbishop of Avignon, but it was too large and too expensive to maintain and was used as a source of stone fo...

6. Pont du GardVers Pont Du Gard The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct that crosses the Gardon River near the town of Vers-Pont-du-Gard in southern France. The Pont du Gard, built as three tiers of archways to bring water to the city of Nîmes, is the highest of all elevated Roman aqueducts, and one of the best preserved. It was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 because of its historical importance. The aqueduct bridge is part of the Nîmes aqueduct, a 50-kilometre system built in the first century AD to carry water from a spring at Uzès to the Roman colony of Nemausus . Because of the uneven terrain between the two points, the mostly underground aqueduct followed a long, winding route that called for a bridge across the gorge of the Gardon River. The bridge has three tiers of arches, stands ... From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A Church in Aix-en-Provence, France
From 5 photographs I took of an 800-year-old church in Aix-en-Provence, a clip of music and a sound recording I made while inside the location, I made this short video. My digital recorder has a very sensitive mic and it picked up a lot of handling noises but I didn't want to cut out that part of the recording as it is musically important. The mass is sung in French. I am surprised by how much quality is lost when uploading videos to YouTube.
