Explore the historical centre of Avignon on a 3-hour walking tour with your English-speaking guide. Climbing up to the top of the fortified medieval city walls to reach the "Rocher des Doms" garden, admire the views over Avignon stretching in all its beauty along the Rhône river. Discover the rich historical past of Avignon where the papacy was established in the early 14C. Follow your passionate guide inside the Pope's Palace, the largest gothic-style Palace in Europe (entrance ticket included). In this maze of galleries, chambers, and chapels, imagine its luxurious furnishing and sumptuous decoration from the medieval period. Benefit from genuine explanations and anecdotes thanks to your local guide. Then, walking on the cobbled streets to the Place de l'Horloge, you'll find out about the secret of the painted windows, see the town hall topped with its clock tower, and the theatre. Your tour will end up with a glass of Côtes du Rhône wine served in a historical place close to the Pope's Palace. Guests must be able to walk over paved streets, then climb a series of steps to reach the Pope's palace. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
