(Français ci-dessous) Hello, my name is Jérôme Bergami and I am 51 years old. I am a writer: author of travelogues and poetry; I am a film lecturer: specialising in extreme walks around the world; I am co-founder of the association La Terre en Marche, which organises walking expeditions on different continents. I have been living in Avignon for five years with my wife and daughter. The City of the Popes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is unique from a historical, heritage and architectural point of view. It is also a dynamic city in terms of culture (the Avignon Theatre Festival), commerce and gastronomy. With enthusiasm and warmth, I love showing tourists around the city, sharing my knowledge, my favourite spots and my top tips. So let's set off together to discover Avignon! ---- Bonjour, je m'appelle Jérôme Bergami et j'ai 51 ans. Je suis écrivain : auteur de chroniques de voyages et de poésie ; je suis ciné-conférencier : spécialisé dans les marches extrêmes à travers le monde ; je suis co-fondateur de l'association La Terre en Marche qui organise des expéditions à pied sur différents continents. Je vis à Avignon depuis cinq ans avec mon épouse et notre fille. La cité des Papes, classée au patrimoine mondiale de l'UNESCO, est une ville unique d'un point de vue historique, patrimonial et architectural. C'est aussi une ville dynamique sur les plans culturels (le festival de théâtre d'Avignon), commerciaux et gastronomiques. Avec enthousiasme et chaleur, j'aime faire découvrir cette ville aux touristes de passage, partageant mes connaissances, mes coups de cœur, mes bons plans. Alors partons ensemble à la découverte d'Avignon!

Tour description

(French above)
The Avignon tour I offer you is a charming walk through the historical heart of the city. We will discover the must-see places: the extraordinary Palace of the Popes, the ancient Roman forum that became the Place de l'Horloge, and the famous Bénezet Bridge over the Rhône. But you will also discover a more intimate and welcoming side of Avignon, with its squares, alleys, churches, and mansions away from the tourist routes.
I will tell you the history of the City of the Popes, from its origins to the present day. But I will also share many anecdotes that will make the city familiar to you. A good coffee, a quality restaurant, a trustworthy shop? I will be there to give you the best recommendations.
Come with me! Passion and enthusiasm at your service! Book your tour now!
