A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Avignon offers a true journey through history. Within its ramparts lies a lively old town where private mansions, shaded squares and bustling terraces coexist.
The Palais des Papes, a symbol of papal power in the 14th century, dominates the city and offers stunning views over the Rhône River. Nearby, the iconic Pont d’Avignon, immortalised in song, remains one of the most famous landmarks in southern France.
Strolling through Avignon means stepping back in time while enjoying a vibrant and sunlit Mediterranean atmosphere.

But culture thrives year-round: the Calvet Museum, Collection Lambert, and the Opéra Grand Avignon offer a rich and diverse programme.
From exhibitions and concerts to artisan markets, the city proudly celebrates its artistic heritage and spirit of sharing
