Discover the history of Avignon in a relaxed three-hour tour. Start with the magnificent Palais des Papes, a stunning Gothic palace that was once the home of the papacy. In 1309, Pope Clement V moved the papal court to Avignon, where six popes ruled before it returned to Italy in 1378. Your guide will share fascinating stories of this grand era as you explore the palace. Next, stroll through Avignon’s charming cobbled streets. Stop at the lively Place de l’Horloge, the city’s main square, known for its vibrant atmosphere and historic clock tower. End your tour at the iconic Pont Saint-Benezet, famously featured in the song "Sur le pont d’Avignon." Built in the 12th century, this bridge once crossed the Rhone River and remains a symbol of Avignon’s rich heritage.
