Description
At the Avignon Tourist Office. Your guide will welcome you and introduce you to the tour and its themes.
The adventure begins at the meeting point.
The magnificent Square Agricole Perdiguier and the Temple Saint-Martial, a former Benedictine monastery, are the ideal starting point for the guided tour.
This remarkable site takes us back to the origins of the town's independence, when it became part of the Venaissin County in the 14th century.
For the next stage, we walk along the ancient ramparts of Avignon, which have now disappeared, stopping briefly to discover the historic monuments we come across.
We then arrive in the Rue des Teinturiers, a lively place during the summer season, the Sorgue canal that surrounds the bell tower and the apse is ideal for taking photos.
We'll then take a stroll down the rue de la Bonneterie, home to numerous craft shops and art galleries.
There will be a break at the famous Central Market, where all participants can enjoy some free time and discover the many regional products on offer.
A few steps from Les Halles market is Saint-Didier Square, home to an impressive collegiate church. This magnificent and imposing example of southern Gothic architecture is equally striking inside, which you will also visit.
To finish the guided tour, we will visit the Livery of Ceccano, a 14th-century cardinal's palace that was the residence of Anibal de Ceccano, one of the city's richest cardinals.
Finally, we return to the Avignon Tourist Office, where the guided tour began. All participants are offered a drink at a nearby pub-restaurant.
