GUIDED TOUR OF AVIGNON AND THE PAPAL PALACE

Explore the historic center of Avignon and the famous Palace of the Popes

on a fascinating 3-hour guided tour.

Climb to the top of the city's fortified ramparts to discover the gardens of the Rocher des Doms overlooking the Rhône.

In this maze of corridors, rooms and chapels, imagine the luxurious furnishings and sumptuous decor of medieval times. Stroll along the cobbled streets to the Place de l'Horloge, and discover the secret of the painted windows of the theater festival held every July in the city of the Popes. Observe the town hall, topped by its clock, and the municipal theater. Your tour ends with a glass of Côtes du Rhône wine, served in an intimate and historic place known only to the locals.
