Avignon gained lasting fame as the home of several 14th-century popes who chose to reside in the city instead of Rome. See the imposing Palais des Papes and admire its vast stone rooms filled with frescos painted by such medieval artist as Giovanetti. Explore the city's magnificent ramparts, see the Pont Saint-Bénézet, and enjoy the town's take a breaking atmosphere, quaint streets, and elegant squares lined with shady trees.
Your guided tour takes you on a journey through the charming countryside. Arrive in the charming village of Roussillon, famous for its magnificent red cliffs and ochre-colored houses. Stroll around the picturesque maze of streets and squares and admire the spectacular view from the summit of the hill.
Continue to Gordes, a breathtaking hilltop village on the edge of the plateau of Vaucluse. Wander the narrow streets that climb up between the grey-stone houses, and explore perfectly restored ancient doorways, arcades, and walls.
