My name is Jérôme Bergami. I'm 51 years old. I'm a writer and a speaker : I write adventure books and I make conferences about the long expeditions I organize with my wife. We are both specialists of the travel by foot around the world. The name of these expeditions is : "Earth is waking" It's a mixt between journalism, sport and cultural relations.
I have been living in Avignon for six years and I know well this city. I'm a passionate local guide. My goal is to show you different aspects of Avignon : historical points of course but also small streets and hidden places. It's more than a visit because I want to describ you the current situation of the city with lot of anecdotes, social, economical, cultural observations. The City of the Popes is protected by UNESCO World Heritage. Its historical and architectural heritage is unique in Europe. Avignon is also a dynamic city in terms of culture (the Avignon Theater Festival), commerce and gastronomy. With enthusiasm and warmth, I love to guide the travellers around the city and to share my knowledge, my favourite spots and my top tips. So let's set off together to discover Avignon!
I really enjoyed the tour - it was so full of information it felt like 3 hours instead of 2 :-) A good mix of history, current situation of the city, advice for food spots and other activities. Good starting point for a trip to Avignon. Jérôme was an entertaining and flexible guide.
Jerome was excellent. It was a very interesting tour. Not so sure it matched the name of the tour though
Absolutely loved it! Jérôme was highly knowledgeable and made the entire experience enjoyable 😃 he also provided us with recommendations for good food and other activities.
