What To Expect

Starting from the top of the fortified medieval city walls, discover Avignon stretching in all its beauty along the Rhône river. Discover the rich historical past of the city where the papacy was established in the early 14th century, and access and follow the guide inside the Pope's Palace, the largest Gothic-styled Palace in Europe.While walking on the cobbled streets to the Place de l'Horloge, find out about the secret of the painted windows. Admire the Town Hall topped with its clock tower and the theater. End the morning with a glass of Côtes du Rhône wine served in a historical place, mostly known by the locals.This afternoon trip will be dedicated to the famous vineyard of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The ruins of the Pope's formal summer residence dominate the typical medieval village. The 13 varieties of grapes combined with the various soils create a large palette of complex red wines and elegant white wines. Enjoy two wine tastings in two of the numerous cellars of the village before going back to Avignon.
