Avignon and Wine

Avignon, which has been continuously inhabited since the Stone Age, served as a haven for popes who were fleeing Rome's corruption in the 14th century. This trip for small groups aims to give you a close-up, detailed view of Avignon.

Did you know? The Pope's Palace is the biggest Gothic-style Palace in Europe! During this tour, you will have time on your own to see the imposing Le Palais des Papes, or the Pope's Palace. Admire the iconic 12th-century Saint-Benezet bridge, famous for the children's song Sur le pont d'Avignon, that spans the Rhone River and was rebuilt several times before being abandoned in the 17th century.

Pop into a local winery in Chateauneuf du Pape for one exquisite wine tasting (included), before your return trip to Marseille. During the tour, you will have free time for lunch (not included) on your own.
