Party 'til the sun comes up in Avignon

Bonjour tout le monde
(hi guys.)
In a final flourish, we say goodbye to Avignon with this post. There are more exciting places to visit in Avignon, so we might return at another time.
As has become tradition, this last post will concentrate on the vibrant nightlife of Avignon. When I was researching this post, I thought a sleepy little town known for its beautiful medieval bridge wouldn't have a thriving nightlife. How wrong I turned out to be!!! I searched Avignon Nightlife on Google and up came thousands of sites.
The one I found with the most information was Time Out Travel. It recommended 5 different places. It says most nights out start at a bar on place de l'Horloge or place Pie ("place" in French means "square" and Avignon is formed by a series of "places"), but in case you want to spend a night on the town, here are some places to check out:
- The Caves Breysse - a trendy wine bar [41 rue des Teinturiers]
- Pub Z - described as a "boho student haunt" on Time Out (whatever that means), where you are greeted by a life size zebra at the door [58 rue Bonneterie]
- Le Bokao's - plays a large variety of music and has a huge dance floor, but is very fashion conscious.
- Le Cid Café - a gay bar located in the main square. Avignon has a thriving gay community and party scene. [11 place de l'Horloge]
There's heaps of places as well (just for tourists, if you don't want to mingle. Look at the "bar amércaine" on the main street. Well, that's it. A fond farewell to Avignon. Stay tuned for the "Tour de France" Tour.
À demain
(Until tomorrow)
