Avignon Private Walking Tour With A Professional Guide

About this activity

Avignon, the heart of Provence, is to french history what the Vatican city is to Rome. Situated on the bank of the River Rhône, it looks and feels like the backdrop of a medieval fairy tale. It is famously known for the 14th-century seat of the Papacy and its 12th-century-old bridge. Recognized for its ecclesiastical architecture, and historic importance, the centre of Avignon was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city has a lot to offer beyond history. You will be greeted by the picturesque views of the river Rhone, plenty of bars, cafés, and restaurants. As you stroll through the streets of Avignon, you will be fascinated by the old alleys, the courtyards, and the restored facades.
