A few things:
One of the pictures of me was taken from halfway up the walkways along the walls of the Palais des Papes. The other was taken in a fantastic little tea salon in Avignon. It was just like me; an English style tea-service and décor served in a French style (with miniature home-made almond "financiers"), and middle-eastern music playing softly overhead.
The first bridge is the Pont d'Avignon. The second picture of a bridge, the large many arched one, is called "Pont du Gard." It is very old and Roman, but that's all I can tell you. It has it's own theme-park of sorts, not entirely unlike Niagara falls, but cleaner and more chic. Well, plus français, quoi.
The olive tree is from 908 AD, and has its very own plaque saying so. Isn't it beautiful? Though it is located along the footpath leading to the Pont du Gard, it is not originally from that spot--it was transplanted from Spain in 1985. Notice how many of the little leaves were captured as mere green blurs by my 7 megapixel digital camera. This should indicate one thing to you: Mistral.
All the other photos are probably self-explanatory, but if not, let me know : )
