Why Visit Avignon ?
Your Ultimate Guide
Avignon is living history. In the 14th century, it was the center of the Catholic world, and its Gothic grandeur still echoes through the cobbled lanes and stone halls. But the city is far from frozen in time – it’s also the beating heart of one of the world’s most famous performing arts festivals, full of youthful energy and Provençal charm.
Traveling by bus gives your group flexibility: to enjoy serene gardens in the morning, dramatic theatre at night, and every viewpoint, courtyard, and museum in between.
