10 am and it's 27 degrees out there. Worse than that, it's 31 degrees in here. We're off to Avignon today. I suspect our sightseeing may be curtailed by the heat, we shall see.
Just under 50 miles from home here it was a pleasant hours journey despite getting progressively hotter as we entered the city. We found underground parking and surfaced only to find the temperature had risen to 44 C and, as we later found out, we were just 16 miles from the hottest place in France that day and that was a close 45.6 C
We wandered a little, saw the pont d'Avignon. Too hot to give a rendition of the song remembered from childhood.
Found a bar, had a drink. Later found an outdoor restaurant where we had lunch. A little more wandering in the heat of the day then gratefully, back to the car and the air conditioning.
