Once upon a time, the old stone-walled city of Avignon on the Rhône River was the seat to the Catholic popes, today a historical insight can be admired at the Palais des Papes (Popes' Palace). Discover the treasures of Avignon held within the city's walls, along the cobbled streets and alleyways spilling out to UNESCO world heritage sites, like the picturesque Saint-Benezet Bridge, Palpal Palace and many more medieval monuments standing within the historic centre.
Absorb the atmosphere of the city by meandering along the narrow streets with quaint boutiques, art galleries enticing visitors and discover picturesque squares lined with Renaissance buildings with charming cafes and Michelin-star restaurants. Enjoy wine bars next to the Sorgue river on the beautiful street, Rue des Teinturiers.
