Not many tourists on this day at the Palais des Papes (Papal Palace) in Avignon. Construction began in the 13th century and, during the 14th century, seven Popes called this home before returning the papacy to Rome.
I'm not sure why this mime/actor/statue chose to put down his hat right here for tips but, he sure could stand very still for a long time. Not many tourists to fill his cup, though.
A street musician (accordionist) takes a smoke break alongside the stone foundation of the Palace. It's a timeless experience to hear the soulful sound of French tunes on the accordion echoing off these stone walls and narrow lanes.
