Avignon - Across The River, What A Find!

Just across the river in Avignon, home to the Palias des Papes, on the side called Villeneuve-les-Avignon is a find that seemes to be missed by tourists. I know, I know, you can do and see everything!
Is the Carthusian Monastery and Ft Andre. The monastery was built in the 14th century and unlike busy Avignon, it takes you back to an atmosphere of unimaginable transquillity.  This monastery is larger than the Palais des Papes, across the river and that's saying something.

Near by is also Sainte Andre Fort, Philippe le Bel, King of France, ordered the construction of the Saint André Fort as a symbol of royal power in opposition to the popes of Avignon and to the lands of the Holy Roman Empire. It includes a fortified wall and two twin towers that flank the monumental gate. The wall was built to protect the Benedictine abbey and the small town of Saint André.
