About this activity

For seventy years in the 1300s, this walled city on the Rhône — not Rome — was the centre of the Catholic world, and Avignon has never stopped acting like it.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Avignon on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Follow the water wheels through the Quartier des Teinturiers, the old dyers' district

• Crack clues beneath the Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace in Europe

• Inspect the Hôtel de Ville and its clock tower on the Place de l'Horloge

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

When the last riddle is solved, the city of the popes will have let you in on secrets most visitors walk right past.
