What to expect

1

Palais des Papes

<nil>

This vast cobblestone square unfolds beneath the towering Gothic fortress that once housed the Popes of the 14th century. Even from the outside, it stuns with medieval drama and scale.

2
Cathedrale Notre-Dame des Doms

Right beside the palace, this Romanesque cathedral has stood watch for nearly 1,000 years. The golden Virgin atop the dome is one of the city’s emblems.

3

Rocher des Doms

A beautifully landscaped park with winding paths, duck ponds, and cliffside views over the Rhône, Mont Ventoux, and the Pont d’Avignon below.

4
Pont Saint-Benezet (Pont d'Avignon)

You don’t need to pay to visit the bridge—its best view is from the ramparts or riverbank, where its truncated span across the Rhône becomes a symbol of legend and loss.

5

Palais des Papes

<nil>

A quieter, shaded square near a 14th-century church, filled with terrace cafés. It’s slightly off the tourist trail, making it a favorite with locals who want a slower pace.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
