Avignon Private Tours
Avignon lies on the left bank of the Rhone River in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. This city served as the seat of the Catholic popes for most of the 14th century, leaving behind the massive, fortress-like Palais des Papes that dominates the city center to this day. In the old town, ochre and cream buildings line the narrow streets. The historic Rue des Teinturiers runs alongside a quiet canal turned by ancient waterwheels. At a terrace table, slow down to savor regional flavors such as savory tapenade, brandade de morue and a glass of nearby Côtes du Rhône wine. A short climb leads to the Rocher des Doms hilltop gardens, offering sweeping views over the water, the old bridge below and the hills beyond.
