You’ll stroll through Avignon with a guided walk that brings the city’s history to life. Choose between a discovery tour of the historic city centre, where you’ll explore picturesque streets, pavement cafés, elegant squares and tree-lined boulevards, and admire the Palace of the Popes from the outside — the striking centrepiece of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed city.
If you opt for the extended experience, you’ll go inside the magnificent Palace of the Popes, walk across the legendary Pont d’Avignon and wander through the spontifical gardens. Seven successive popes made the palace their home and commissioned spectacular works of architecture to rival those of Rome; the Palace of the Popes stands out as one of the most important Gothic buildings in Europe. Along the way your guide will explain these stories and help you understand Avignon’s rich past.
