Description:
Explore the rich history of Provence with a guided tour to historic sites and free time to see the city of Avignon. Enter the Palais des Papes, walk on the famous Pont Saint-Bénézet, visit the stunning cities of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Les Baux-de-Provence, and see the remarkable Pont du Gard.
A self-guided tour of Avignon gives you a chance to see the historic Palais des Papes, where the Catholic curia met instead of Rome during much of the 14th century. Explore more than 20 rooms and private chambers in the former papal residence, and see frescoes painted by Italian artist Matteo Giovannetti.
Visit the famous Pont Saint-Bénézet, the remains of a bridge over the Rhone that dates back to the Avignon Papacy, and hear intriguing stories about the city's amazing monuments on your audio guide. Use your time in Avignon to gain a deeper understanding of the destinations on your guided tour.
Once you meet your guide, head to the charming village of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, surrounded by lush, perfumed valleys. Stroll through the narrow winding streets and explore fantastic fountains, shady squares, and picturesque restaurants.
Continue to Les Baux-de-Provence, a hilltop town perched on a rocky plateau. Wander the old cobblestone streets and admire exceptional panoramas of the landscape. Your last stop, the Pont du Gard, is an ancient aqueduct recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire this surprisingly well-preserved monument to Provence's Roman past.
