Are you a history buff? Don't miss this guided tour of Avignon! After a walk through the town's historic centre, we'll move on to a tour of the villages of Luberon.

Description

At the indicated time, we'll meet at rue de la République for our guided tour of Avignon.

We'll begin the walking tour (which will last 3 hours) by making our way along the Avignon Bridge area. En route, we'll learn why exactly this footbridge never crosses the Rhone River. We'll then head to the gardens of the Rocher des Doms, the old walled area of the city.

The tour will then bring us to the magnificent Palace of the Popes. Inside this iconic landmark, we'll learn about the Popes that challenged Roman rule, enjoy the countless sacred works of art in the palace and find out the secrets of this former papal residence.

After the Papal Palace, we'll continue our tour of Avignon on to other significant landmarks such as Place de l'Horloge, the town's Theater, and the City Hall. At the end of the guided tour, you'll have an hour of free time to go and grab some lunch in town. After you've refueled, we'll reconvene in the historic centre and begin our drive to the villages of Luberon.

We'll pass by the ancient Roman bridge of Pont Julien before arriving at Rousillon and taking a stroll through the charming medieval town. The tour will then continue on to Lacoste, where we'll make another quick stop and perhaps snap a few pictures at the area's scenic viewpoints.

Finally, we'll make a brief stop in Gordes and wander its enchanting streets. Finally, we'll start our return trip to Avignon, where we'll arrive about 9.5 hours after meeting.
