Enchanting Avignon: History and Legend (by a Certified Guide Conférencière)

Join me for a walking tour of Avignon’s historic center and discover the stories behind one of the most important cities of medieval Europe.

As we walk through cobblestone streets, lively squares, and quieter corners, I’ll guide you through the key moments that shaped Avignon — from the time of the Popes to the city we see today.

We’ll pass by major landmarks such as the Palais des Papes, as well as hidden streets and lesser-known places, while I share a mix of history, local context, and stories that bring the city to life.

The tour is designed to be clear, engaging, and accessible, with a balance between historical explanation and storytelling. Questions are always welcome along the way.

Consistently rated as an excellent experience by past participants, the tour offers a structured and enjoyable introduction to Avignon.

Whether it’s your first time here or you want to better understand the city, you’ll leave with a clear overview and practical recommendations to continue exploring.

Wondering how much to pay? The average is 15€ per person over 10 y/o.
