♡ Save
Join us and discover the vibrant soul of Avignon! Explore its rich heritage, hidden corners, and dynamic local life, from history and culture to flavors and charm. A unique journey through the city of the Popes awaits you!
The tour I'm offering is an enchanting stroll through the historic heart of the city. We'll discover must-see sites, including the extraordinary Palais des Papes, the ancient Roman forum now known as the Place de l'Horloge, and the famous Pont Bénezet, which spans the Rhône. But you'll also discover a more intimate and welcoming Avignon, with its squares, alleyways, churches, the synagogue, and private mansions off the beaten track.
I'll tell you about the history of the City of the Popes, from its origins to the present day. I'll also share many anecdotes that will familiarize you with this city. Looking for a good coffee, a quality restaurant, a trusted merchant? I'll be there to share the best places to eat. Our tour will conclude at the Place Saint-Didier, where you will see the oldest coffee of Avignon and the six bells of the old Church Saint-Didier.
So come with me! Passion and enthusiasm at your service! Book your tour now!
