At its feet, at the entrance to the twenty-two arches of the bridge of Avignon, Philip the Fair, King of France, collected the rights of way. From its watchtower, the Rhône, Ventoux, Alpilles, Montagnette, vast panoramas, were watched. A place of culture and tourism, here is the painting in purple tones, like the habit of the bishops haunting the palaces of the cardinals, built here. The painter's will exploring the palette of Iris' scarf. I think of Rimbaud : "O the Omega, violet ray of His Eyes!"
