Overview of your Avignon tour:

Capturing the essence of Provence from the Romans to the Medieval times begining with a visit to Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct built in the 1st century which at the time was the world's tallest bridge. It brought water to the 20, 000 inhabitants of the ancient city of Nîmes. From here we make our way to the city of Avignon. A guided walking tour of this beautiful sophisticated town, once home to the Pope's, a visit to the UNESCO world heritage Palais des Papes and a leisurely afternoon exploring the harmonious open and enclosed garden spaces & architectural styles. Avignon - once centre of the Catholic world, left with an impressive legacy of ecclesiastical architecture, most notably World Heritage listed Palais des Papes that includes an array of impressive renaissance frescos. Avignon hosts the annual arts festival, the largest in France. In Avignon we visit the gardens of Rocher des Doms and the ancient cathedral church of Notre dame des Doms d'Avignon and the Pont d'Avignon.
