(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.
