• 5Avignon Walking Tour

  Odelia was a great guide. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun! She shared the history of Avignon, and several buildings on city centre. Our final stop was the Pope’s Palace for a tour of the inside of the palace.

• 5Great tour, amazing tour guide

  Our tour guide Émile was fantastic. He was very engaging with our whole tour group. He knew so much and taught us all so much about Avignon, the history of the Papacy, the history of France. It was amazing to see and learn about so much history in one tour. I highly recommend this tour and our tour guide Emile!

• 5Great tour!

  This was a very good tour for learning about the history of Avignon and where to shop and eat today. Be prepared to walk a lot but it’s sooo worth it.

  Guide,emilio, was very good. Had excellent rapport with all of the tour members ~17 from germany, Sweden, australia, New zealand, n&s carolina, florida, california. able to impart knowledge to those who had previously done similar tours so that everyone got something from the tour. Pace was good. One person opted out of climbing stairs in the castle and emilio made sure the guest was well cared.

About Avignon

Avignon is a walled Rhône city where the popes lived in the fourteenth century, known for its vast palace, a broken bridge and a summer theatre festival.

From 1309 to 1377 the popes governed the Catholic Church from Avignon, and the Palais des Papes, a huge Gothic fortress of pale stone, still rises above the old town. Medieval ramparts more than four kilometres long surround the centre. The Pont Saint-Bénézet, the Pont d'Avignon of the nursery song, stops halfway across the Rhône, with only four of its arches left.

Top-ranked sights in Avignon: Roussillon, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Pont du Gard.
