- Walk Through Papal History: Explore the immense, fortress-like Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace in Europe, and stand in the conclave hall where popes were elected. Follow in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims across the iconic, partially ruined Pont Saint-Bénézet, and climb the Rocher des Doms gardens for panoramic views of the Rhône and the bridge.
- Experience a World-Class Theater Festival: Immerse yourself in the electric energy of the Avignon Festival in July, where thousands of performances—from avant-garde street theater to classical drama—take over the city. See shows in historic venues like the Cour d'Honneur of the Papal Palace or discover emerging artists in unexpected spaces throughout the walled city.
- Savor Provençal Food & Wine: Indulge in the local cuisine at Les Halles market, a vertical garden-covered food hall with over 40 vendors. Enjoy a traditional al fresco lunch of daube (beef stew) or ratatouille, then take a short trip to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards for tastings of powerful, sun-baked Grenache blends.
