What to expect

Meet your local guide, fluent in English and brimming with passion and knowledge about the city of Avignon and Provence. Embark on a 3.5-hour guided walking tour to explore the best sites this city has to offer. Ascend the fortified medieval city walls to reach the "Rocher des Doms" garden, where you can gaze upon the city stretching out along the Rhône River. Uncover Avignon's historical past, where the papacy was established in the early 14th century.

Next, visit the Papal Palace for a guided tour. As you explore Europe's largest gothic-style palace, imagine the luxurious lifestyle enjoyed there during the medieval period. Your local guide will regale you with interesting stories and anecdotes throughout the tour.

From there, stroll through Avignon's cobbled streets to the Place de l'Horloge. Discover the secrets behind its painted windows, admire the town hall topped with its clock tower, and take in the theatre. The walking tour concludes near the Pope's Palace, where you'll toast to your exploration of Avignon with a glass of Côtes du Rhône wine served at a local establishment. This immersive experience wraps up just in time for lunch, leaving you free to continue exploring or find a cosy spot for a meal.
