/ We start at 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. Now this is a trendy street, with cafes, boutiques and a small theater, a mere ten-minute walk from the town center. We have a quick look at the Palace of the Popes then continue walking the small lanes of the Old Town of Avignon.
