I flitted from here to there like a hummingbird, trying to get as many pictures as possible while still taking it all in.

The reason I had so little time in Roussillon was because my trip to Avignon only lasted 48 hours, which  meant the only way I could see some of the beautiful sites outside the city was by booking a tour.
