    Consider this, me being 6'9" fitting in a sleeping wagon in the trains... HAHA!
    I drink in moderation. Moderation is a fictional place in my imagination.

    O' Neils is on the corner across the road from the tourist info office, lots of REG guy drink there and in Avignon as it is not far from Laudon ( approx 18 k ) the Reg are based there. I pass there most days on my return to Orsan.On the road to Orsan from Avignon is a floral memorial to 3 REG guys killed in a car smash. RIP guys.

    Re: Legion Bar in Avignon?

    Ya its usually o'neils, red sky, or cubanitos but I try to stay away from avignon bc it usally turns out to be an expensive night for nothing. You'll find find a lot of cav guys as well bc its one train station away from orange, and 2reg bc its the only place to get to easily from st.cristol bc its in the middle of nowhere. Its better just to go to o'malleys in marseille (my favorite) and theres a lot of anglophone bars in paris like McBrides or Cafe OZ.
